Updated the starter Elasticsearch index template to set number_of_replicas to 0.
This update helps new Elastic users, with a single-node "sandbox" test environment, to avoid problems caused by the default number_of_replicas value of 1.
Updated the documentation to highlight the need to set number_of_replicas to 0 in a single-node environment.

Starter dashboards for CICS have been updated. "Response time analysis" dashboard has been replaced by new "Service level analysis" dashboard.

Added starter dashboards for CICS and Db2 in separately installable bundles.
Removed sample data.
To forward data to these starter dashboards, you must have ODP.
New Elasticsearch index names include the OMEGAMON monitoring agent product code (kpp).
Updated Logstash pipeline configuration reflects the new Elasticsearch index names and creates data streams instead of time-based (per-day) indices.
Updated Elasticsearch index template enables data streams.
Updated Elasticsearch ILM policy details, including:
- New starter policy name, omegamon-ds-ilm-policy, to reflect the use of data streams
  Was: omegamon-ilm-policy (note the -ds in the new name)
- Rollover settings
Moved the starter dashboards GitHub repository from z-open-data/z-omegamon-analytics-elastic-dockeropen in new window to z-open-data/odp-elastic-samplesopen in new window.
If you don't have an existing Elastic Stack instance that you want to use: the single-container Elastic Stack Docker environment, based on the sebp/elk Docker image, has been replaced with a multi-container Docker Compose file, based on the per-component images built by the Elastic developers.
Moved the documentation from README.md files to a dedicated GitHub repository, z-open-data/z-open-data.github.io.

First release of starter Elastic dashboards for ODP, in the GitHub repository z-open-data/z-omegamon-analytics-elastic-docker
