For the netflow module when data is forwarded to Filebeat from another host/device you don't want Filebeat to add `host`. So by default this modules add a `forwarded` tag to events. If you configure the module to not include the `forwarded` tag (e.g. `var.tags: [my_tag]`) then Filebeat will add the `host.*` fields. Relates: elastic#13920

What does this PR do?
For the netflow module when data is forwarded to Filebeat from another host/device you don't want Filebeat to add
host. So by default this modules add aforwardedtag to events. If you configure the module to not include theforwardedtag (e.g.var.tags: [my_tag]) then Filebeat will add thehost.*fields.Why is it important?
We want Filebeat to follow Elastic Common Schema. And setting host with the correct value is part of that. By setting (or not setting host) we can better interpret events. Without this change the Filebeat host is being attributed as the source even if data was received over netflow from another host.
