Title: LOGSTASH-503: Require file input paths to be absolute

This was already the case, but we weren't explicitly checking for it. If the user specifies a relative path, an ArgumentError will be raised that says "File paths must be absolute, relative path specified: #{path}". Also added tests for this and updated the documentation to say that paths must be absolute.
