A user reported that the OSS Beats had linked in elastic-agent-client which is ELv2 licensed, which was accurate as we were using types from it in a few places. Cloning a few trivial types (and Apache licensing them which is of no consequence) and minor moves of code fixes this and removes the elastic-agent-client dependency from the OSS code.
To verify:
When the Beat receivers project concludes, we should be able to completely remove or majorly reduce use of elastic-agent-client since it would be necessary anymore.
In the meantime, a new lint rule to flag use of this import outside of x-pack has been added.
