Grant privileges and roles needed to read Functionbeat data from Kibana

Kibana users typically need to view dashboards and visualizations that contain Functionbeat data. These users might also need to create and edit dashboards and visualizations.

To grant users the required privileges:

Create a reader role, called something like functionbeat_reader, that has the following privilege:
