It seems odd that the beats db is in /usr/share; ISTM that it should be in $XDG_STATE_HOME or similar.

What does this PR do?
Avoid monitoring by default
/usr/share. It contains the folder where the elastic agent is installed, including thebeat.dbdatabase which is updated every time a change in FIM happens, so it generates an infinite loop.Exclude by default files that are expected to be modified, in particular,
.tmp,.logand.dbfiles. FIM should be focused on monitoring files whose changes may represent a security issue, monitoring files that change regularly may imply a noise that makes this task more difficult.Checklist
