Kibana server.uuid and server.name configs

Chart version: 7.9.2

Kubernetes version: 1.16.8

Kubernetes provider: Rancher

Helm Version: 3.2.4

Describe the bug: According to this doc from Elastic, the following configs need to be unique for kibana installations being served from behind a load balancer:

server.uuid
server.name

The chart in this repo does not specify how these values can be set for kibana installations that use this chart.

We addressed this adding some extraEnvs:

extraEnvs:
- name: SERVER_NAME
  valueFrom:
    fieldRef:
      fieldPath: metadata.name
- name: SERVER_UUID
  valueFrom:
    fieldRef:
      fieldPath: metadata.uid

This would set SERVER_NAME to the current pod name and SERVER_UUID to the pod uuid. Of course this doesn’t persist the name or uuid through pod restarts/deployments. But I don’t think it has to.

Does anyone see a problem doing it this way?
