Allow paths with wildcard directories #532

In some cases log files are grouped into subdirectories, and it seems impossible to specify the following for logstash-forwarder: /syslog/log/**/*.

This capability is supported by logstash, see this conversation.

(BTW: Is logstash-forwarder still being maintained? It seems there hasn't been real activity here for months...)

@roji All new features for logstash-forwarder go into filebeat. Filebeat will be the future replacement of logstash-forwarder. So it is best to open this issue directly in the Filebeat repo: https://github.com/elastic/filebeat
