Use hostNetwork for Metricbeat Deployment

Metricbeat k8s deployment is used to poll the kube-state-metrics service for the kubernetes metricset. This configuration results in the metricbeat pod being reported as a host i.e. beat.name becomes the container name on all docs. This can be confusing in some visualizations. With this change the Metricbeat will report the underlying hostname. Fixes elastic#7199
