Add note on temporary directory for Windows service 

The Windows service will use a private temporary directory under the

run as a different user, operators need a method to set this temporary
directory elsewhere. We have such a mechanism, so this commit merely
adds a note to the documentation on how to utilize it.

NOTE: The service automatically configures a private temporary directory for use
by Elasticsearch when it is running. This private temporary directory is
configured as a sub-directory of the private temporary directory for the user
running the installation. If the service will run under a different user, you
can configure the location of the temporary directory that the service should
use by setting the environment variable `ES_TMPDIR` to the preferred location
before you execute the service installation.

It is also possible to configure the service after it's been installed using the manager GUI (`elasticsearch-service-mgr.exe`), which offers insight into the installed service, including its status, startup type, JVM, start and stop settings amongst other things.
