filebeat 2.2.0 doesn't support chef 12

[sgandham123]

Hi ,
I am trying to use filebeat cookbook version 2.2.0 on chef 12 in AWS. However I am getting below error on dependency module runit since it doesn't support chef12. Even if I take older versions of filebeat I get the same issue since runit always points to latest version. Could you please update the Berks file with right versions.

same issue with windows dependency as well

It is not just version 2.2. The other versions are not pinned to a specific version of runit or windows either, so they will not run on anything < 14.

I got version 1.4 working with Chef 12.13 by adding pinning to metadata.rb

depends 'runit', '~> 4.3.1' depends 'windows', '~> 4.3.4
