Hello 👋🏽

Would it be possible to support **proxy-protocol** for beats inputs ?

I send logs from winlogbeat to logstash and i have Haproxy between them.

without proxy and with this configuration of logstash, i got the ip of beats clients (work good):

```auto
input {
   beats {
      port => "5000"
   }
}
filter {
   mutate {
      copy => {"[@metadata][ip_address]" => "[public_ip]"}
   }
}
output {
   stdout{}
}

```

but when i add the HAProxy, the public\_ip become the IP of the HAproxy. for that i need to add proxy\_protocol =\> true in the input beats.

the proxy\_protocol dose not exist in beats inputs
