Updating functional tests archives

Some of our API tests use an archive generated by the esarchiver script. Updating the main archive (apm_8.0.0) is a scripted process, where a 30m snapshot is downloaded from a cluster running the APM Integration Testing server. The script will copy the generated archives into the fixtures/es_archiver folders of our test suites (currently basic and trial). It will also generate a file that contains metadata about the archive, that can be imported to get the time range of the snapshot.

Usage: node x-pack/plugins/apm/scripts/create-functional-tests-archive --es-url=https://admin:changeme@localhost:9200 --kibana-url=https://localhost:5601
