Cherry-pick of PR #19159 to 7.x branch. Original message:

What does this PR do?

When we update the Beat (include all of its modules) we will then bump the ECS
version that it includes in events.

I went for a less granular approach than what is being used in Filebeat because
I think it's desirable to move a whole beat to a new ECS version "at once" and
more realistic to do so with these Beats that have fewer updates. By "at once" I
mean we won't release a version that is partially updated. This implies that if
we will be making multiple commits that we should use a feature branch to
ensure the update is atomic.

Why is it important?

We want the ecs.version to accurately represent the schema that is implemented.
