Hi all,

I'm trying to use Auditbeat's system module to get currently installed packages on monitored hosts. While being very useful, I noticed it does not send any information about the package vendor.  
Here what I obtain using rpm CLI:

```auto
rpm -qi elasticsearch

Name : elasticsearch

Version : 8.5.0
Release : 1

```

Here's the document ingested in Elasticsearch:

```auto
"system": {
      "audit": {
        "package": {
          "license": "Elastic License",
          "name": "elasticsearch",
          "url": "https://www.elastic.co/",
          "entity_id": "XdmzuehYdFvo7ipG",
          "version": "8.5.0",
          "size": 1193406199,
          "summary": "Distributed RESTful search engine built for the cloud",
          "release": "1",
          "arch": "x86_64",
          "installtime": "2022-11-28T08:14:24.000Z"
        }
      }
    }

```

Would it be possibile to add this new field in a future version of this beat or do you have any suggestions about retrieving it?

Auditbeat version: 8.5.2  
Elasticsearch version: 8.5.0

Thank you!
