Originally this function (and whole file) was designed to check field group properties. See comment.
Does validation logic of dimensions apply to ordinary, single fields? Maybe it's worth extracting it to a separate .go file?

Oh, good point, yes, I will separate it.

What does this PR do?
dimensionparameter to fields, so they can be defined as dimensions for time series data. Dimensions are used to identify time series. For a data stream, events with the same set of dimensions are considered the same time serie. Only keywords, ips and numeric values can be defined as dimensions, this is enforced by the spec.Why is it important?
There is an effort in Elasticsearch to improve the support of time series data (see elastic/elasticsearch#74014, elastic/elasticsearch#74450, elastic/elasticsearch#74660). As part of this, dimensions are going to be first-class citizens, what will have advantages when storing and consuming time series data. To leverage these features in integrations, their dimensions should be properly defined.
