Subject: [PATCH] Add tests to verify template content

We recently started to move fields.yml into the Golang binary to be used internally. To make sure the loading important and loading of all the data into the binary works as expected for Metricbeat, this adds some basic tests. Related to https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/7605.
