  1. Improvements and fixes to the Host Overview dashboard

    * Use `beat.name` instead of `beat.hostname` in visualizations. See elastic#5276 for
      the motivation
    * Add a "tip" widget that tells user how they can select another host.
    * Automatically set a search pattern of the form `beat.name: "HOSTNAME"` where
      HOSTNAME is the Beat name (hostname) that uploads the dashboards.
    
    The way the last point works is that I saved the dashbaord using this filter:
    `beat.name:"CHANGEME_HOSTNAME"`. The kibana loader code does a string replacement
    and replaces `CHANGEME_HOSTNAME` with the actual hostname. The disadvantage of this
    approach (vs doing JSON parsing) is that we must remember to always save that
    dashboard with the `CHANGEME_HOSTNAME` wildcard in place. I have added a unit test
    to the system module that checks for that, so it should be relatively hard for
    us to forget.
    
    Closes elastic#5276.
