Stop running Auditbeat container as root by default. After this change, when user root is required it will need to be explicitly set on runtime. This is already done in Kubernetes manifests and some other examples in the documentation, so change is probably not so breaking. Also `USER root` is usually not enough to be fully privileged, so some customization was always expected when running Auditbeat on docker. (cherry picked from commit 6bd7090)

Stop running Auditbeat container as root by default. After this change, when user root is required it will need to be explicitly set on runtime. This is already done in Kubernetes manifests and some other examples in the documentation, so change is probably not so breaking.
Also
USER rootis usually not enough to be fully privileged, so some customization was always expected when running Auditbeat on docker.Why is it important?
Using
USER rootin docker images is not a very good practice, and is not allowed in some certification processes (see #20996).Checklist
