Traditionally we have [recommended](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/monitoring.html) that Beats send their monitoring data to the **production** Elasticsearch cluster. Beats do this by calling the `POST _monitoring/bulk` API. When Security is enabled this API call requires the `cluster:admin/xpack/monitoring/bulk` privilege. The built-in `beats_system` role has this privilege. [Going forward](https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/9260), Beats will be able to send their monitoring data directly to the **monitoring** Elasticsearch cluster. Beats will do this by calling the regular `POST _bulk` API. When Security is enabled this API call requires the `indices:data/write/bulk` privilege. Further, the call has to be able to create any indices that don't exist. This PR expands the built-in `beats_system` role's privileges. Specifically, it adds index-level `write` and `create_index` privileges for `.monitoring-beats-*` indices. This will allow Beats users to continue using the `beats_system` role for the new direct monitoring route when Security is enabled.
