x-pack/filebeat/input/cel: add ability to remove request trace logs

The previous configuration system did not allow users to remove trace
logs from agents after they are no longer needed. This is potential
security risk as it leaves potentially sensitive information on the file
system beyond its required lifetime. The mechanism for communicating to
the input whether to write logs is not currently powerful enough to
indicate that existing logs should be removed without deleting logs from
other instances. So add an enabled configuration option to allow the
target name to be sent independently of whether the files should be
written or removed.

The new option is optional, defaulting to the previous behaviour so
that it can be opted into via progressive repair in the client
integrations.
