Nginx module: use first not private IP address as remote_ip (elastic#…

…4417)

A common customization to the nginx logs is to add the contents
of the X-Forwarded-For header in front of the remote IPs. This
typically results in a list of remote IPs.

This adds a new field `remote_ip_list` which is an array, and uses
a Painless script to automatically select the first non-private
IP for the `remote_ip` field, which is the field on which GeoIP is
applied.

Fixes elastic#4322.
