Avoid mapping issues in kubernetes module (elastic#8487)

* Avoid mapping issues in kubernetes module

This contains 2 changes:

 * Do not report `start_time` when it's empty, as that will throw a
 mapping exception
 * Fix `fields.yml`, as some fields were out of place for `event`
 metricset

(cherry picked from commit 3c363a0)
