Add -XX+AlwaysPreTouch JVM flag

Enables the touching of all memory pages used by the JVM heap spaces
during initialization of the HotSpot VM, which commits all memory pages
at initialization time. By default, pages are committed only as they are
needed.

==== Longer startup times
In Elasticsearch 5.0.0 the `-XX:+AlwaysPreTouch` flag has been added to the JVM
startup options. This option touches all memory pages used by the JVM heap
during initialization of the HotSpot VM to reduce the chance of having to commit
a memory page during GC time. This will increase the startup time of
Elasticsearch as well as increasing the initial resident memory usage of the
Java process.
