Authorization Realms allow an authenticating realm to delegate the task
of constructing a User object (with name, roles, etc) to one or more
other realms.
E.g. A client could authenticate using PKI, but then delegate to an LDAP
realm. The LDAP realm performs a "lookup" by principal, and then does
regular role-mapping from the discovered user.
This commit includes:
- authorization_realm support in the pki, ldap, saml & kerberos realms
- docs for authorization_realms
- checks that there are no "authorization chains"
(whereby "realm-a" delegates to "realm-b", but "realm-b" delegates to "realm-c")
Authorization realms is a platinum feature.
Make it clear that automatic default credentials (ADC)
is not supported for the repository-gcs plugin.
"Service Account" method is the only alternative
to authn requests to Google Cloud Storage.
Today we support a static list of seed hosts in core Elasticsearch, and allow a
dynamic list of seed hosts to be provided via a file using the `discovery-file`
plugin. In fact the ability to provide a dynamic list of seed hosts is
increasingly useful, so this change moves this functionality to core
Elasticsearch to avoid the need for a plugin.
Furthermore, in order to start up nodes in integration tests we currently
assign a known port to each node before startup, which unfortunately sometimes
fails if another process grabs the selected port in the meantime. By moving the
`discovery-file` functionality into the core product we can use it to avoid
this race.
This change also moves the expected path to the file from
`$ES_PATH_CONF/discovery-file/unicast_hosts.txt` to
`$ES_PATH_CONF/unicast_hosts.txt`. An example of this file is not included in
distributions.
For BWC purposes the plugin still exists, but does nothing more than create the
example file in the old location, and issue a warning when it is used. We also
continue to support the old location for the file, but warn about its
deprecation.

* ingest: Introduce the dissect processor
The ingest node dissect processor is an alternative to Grok
to split a string based on a pattern. Dissect differs from
Grok such that regular expressions are not used to split the
string.
Dissect can be used to parse a source text field with a
simpler pattern, and is often faster the Grok for basic string
parsing. This processor uses the dissect library which
does most of the work.

We used to set `maxScore` to `0` within `TopDocs` in situations where there is really no score as the size was set to `0` and scores were not even tracked. In such scenarios, `Float.Nan` is more appropriate, which gets converted to `max_score: null` on the REST layer. That's also more consistent with lucene which set `maxScore` to `Float.Nan` when merging empty `TopDocs` (see `TopDocs#merge`).
Currently docs don't explain how `ignore_above` behaves with arrays of
strings.
Clarify how `ignore_above` applies for arrays of strings and
also note that all string(s) will still be visible in the
`_source` field.

Today `_msearch` doesn't allow modifying the `max_concurrent_shard_requests`
per sub search request. This change adds support for setting this parameter on
all sub-search requests in an `_msearch`.

The main installation instructions page for the Windows MSI installer includes a header at the top to indicate that the installer is in beta, but the Installing Elasticsearch page does not. This commit adds the beta label to the MSI entry within the installation options.
The maximum map count boostrap check can be a hindrance to users that do
not own the underlying platform on which they are executing
Elasticsearch. This is because addressing it requires tuning the kernel
and a platform provider might now allow this, especially on shared
infrastructure. However, this bootstrap check is not needed if mmapfs is
not in use. Today we do not have a way for the user to communicate that
they are not going to use mmapfs. This commit therefore adds a setting
that enables the user to disallow mmapfs. When mmapfs is disallowed, the
maximum map count bootstrap check is not enforced. Additionally, we
fallback to a different default index store and prevent the explicit use
of mmapfs for an index.

This commit adds documentation for configuring Kerberos realm.
Configuring Kerberos realm documentation highlights important
terminology and requirements before creating Kerberos realm.
Most of the documentation is centered around configuration from
Elasticsearch rather than go deep into Kerberos implementation.
Kerberos realm settings are mentioned in the security settings
for Kerberos realm.
* Modified a reference to real time to match the previous line reference of
realtime.
* Modified eg to e.g. as it's an abbreviation for the latin exempli gratia
* Added missing pronoun to `_executing_filters` section.
Currently, if geo context is represented by something other than
geo_point or an object with lat and lon fields, the parsing of it
as a geo context can result in ignoring the context altogether,
returning confusing errors such as number_format_exception or trying
to parse the number specifying as long-encoded hash code. It would also
fail if the geo_point was stored.
This commit makes the mapping parsing more strict and will fail during
mapping update or index creation if the geo context doesn't point to
a geo_point field.

* Scripted metric aggregations: add deprecation warning and system property to control legacy params
Scripted metric aggregation params._agg/_aggs are replaced by state/states context variables. By default the old params are still present, and a deprecation warning is emitted when Scripted Metric Aggregations are used. A new system property can be used to disable the legacy params. This functionality will be removed in a future revision.
* Fix minor style issue and docs test failure
* Disable deprecated params._agg/_aggs in tests and revise tests to use state/states instead
* Add integration test covering deprecated scripted metrics aggs params._agg/_aggs access
* Disable deprecated params._agg/_aggs in docs integration tests and revise stored scripts to use state/states instead
* Revert unnecessary migrations doc change
A relevant note should be added in the changes destined for 7.0; this PR is going to be backported to 6.x.
* Replace deprecated _agg param bwc integration test with a couple of unit tests
* Fix compatibility test after merge
* Rename backwards compatibility system property per code review feedback
* Tweak deprecation warning text per review feedback
