Title: Create account attribute

This PR adds a new attribute, called `create_account` which is defaulted to `true` (to preserve the existing behavior). If disabled, it will make no attempt to create the user, which is really handy if all your logs are owned by users like `root` or `rails` and have permissions and criteria which really don't fit into having an individual user for the logstash agent.

I've also added documentation for the attribute.

Hope it helps! I'm running it here to great effect.
