[Node.js][Kibana]Try to add reverse proxy function

Overview

Only a host in internal network can access to Elastic Search cluster.
So conventional way is the Kibana access to Elastic Search cluster via reverse proxy.
But, the proxy was crushed.
I added reverse proxy function to the Kibana because I couldn’t build new reverse proxy with cost. If Kibana access to http://${kibana domain}/proxy/${elastic search url},
Kibana get data from Elastic Search with ${elastic search url} via internal network.
