Hello! I want to audit system events which happen inside LXC containers. Is it able to do with Auditbeat?

I started development of a new `add_lxc_metadata` processor which would add `container.id` field to the event data just like `add_docker_metadata` do.

I already have a working and tested minimal working solution and opened a PR for that: [https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/11663](https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/11663)

I appreciate any comments, hints and suggestions!
