[8.19](backport #47870) javascript processor: replace global paths with per-beat paths

[mergify]

Proposed commit message

Changes:

• Add SetPaths(path *paths.Path) method to jsProcessor that accepts a per-beat paths configuration
• Defer file-based source initialization until SetPaths is called
• For inline sources, initialization still happens immediately in NewFromConfig
• loadSources now takes a *paths.Path parameter and uses pathConfig.Resolve() instead of the global paths.Resolve()

Fixes #46988

How to test this PR locally

Run filebeat with:

path.config: myconfig/

filebeat.inputs:
  - type: filestream
    id: input-a
    paths:
      - /tmp/logs/a.log

    processors:
      - script:
          lang: javascript
          file: test_processor.js
          tag: test-js-processor

output.console:
  enabled: true

myconfig/test_processor.js:

function process(event) {
    event.Put("js_processor.processed", true);
    event.Put("js_processor.timestamp", new Date().toISOString());

    var msg = event.Get("message");
    if (msg) {
        event.Put("message_upper", msg.toUpperCase());
    }

    return event;
}

write some logs:

yes 'some log' | head -n 10000 > /tmp/logs/a.log
