[Filebeat] Allow cef and checkpoint modules to override network directionality based off of zones #23066

What does this PR do?

This adopts the same logic as #22998 by classifying internal/external/inbound/outbound traffic based off of zones.

It differs due to the fact that the checkpoint module (and the cef module when used with checkpoint) already fill in a network direction based off of a field in the actual event payload that says either "inbound" or "outbound". That said, this change would allow internal/external traffic classification and classifying logically based off of logical network segments in a partitioned network where some zones are considered inside of a DMZ v. outside.

By default the classification overriding is turned off.

Since there's no way of overriding the config on a per golden file basis. Here's a diff to demonstrate this working:

With the following configuration change

diff --git a/x-pack/filebeat/module/checkpoint/firewall/manifest.yml b/x-pack/filebeat/module/checkpoint/firewall/manife
