Allow TCP helper to support delimiters #8278

There are TCP payloads coming in from graphite carbon forwarders into metricbeat that have many metrics separated by '\n`. What happens is that only the first event is parsed and the rest are dropped.

This PR attempts to allow TCP helper to accept a delimiter character which can be used to split the bytes coming in to the socket and create events for each one of them.

Can conn be nil here? I'd rather return immediately if that is the case.
