Changes

deleted all of the existing code

it was based on a clone of filebeat (which is great for syslogs, but not unified2 files)
originally, cloning filebeat was a good choice

designed and rewrote the entire project

it is much simpler, more readable, and more appropriate for unified2 files
the issue with excessive CPU usage (70+% on all cores) has disappeared
followed the Beats development guide
dependencies:
- 1. libbeat
- 1. gopacket -- for the packet_dump field
- 1. geoip2-golang -- to geocode IP v4/6 addresses
- 1. go-unified2 -- to read and spool unified2 files
  - this is a fork of the original go-unified2
  - with changes for the registrar feature
