Converting generator.py to mage

CHANGELOG-developer.next.asciidoc

@@ -24,6 +24,7 @@ The list below covers the major changes between 7.0.0-rc2 and master only.
 - For "metricbeat style" generated custom beats, the mage target `GoTestIntegration` has changed to `GoIntegTest` and `GoTestUnit` has changed to `GoUnitTest`. {pull}13341[13341]
 - Build docker and kubernetes features only on supported platforms. {pull}13509[13509]
 - Need to register new processors to be used in the JS processor in their `init` functions. {pull}13509[13509]
+- The custom beat generator now uses mage instead of python, `mage GenerateCustomBeat` can be used to create a new beat, and `mage vendorUpdate` to update the vendored libbeat in a custom beat. {pull}13610[13610]
