Meta plugins existed only for a short time, in order to enable breaking
up x-pack into multiple plugins. However, now that x-pack is no longer
installed as a plugin, the need for them has disappeared. This commit
removes the meta plugins infrastructure.
QA tests that use security need to use a trial license instead of a
basic license. Basic licenses do not enable security so these tests are
not running in the expected configuration. This can also lead to issues
that seem completely unrelated such as authentication failures right
after cluster formation.
The authentication failure right after cluster formation happens since
a request makes it past the authentication license checks and the
request starts the authentication process. During authentication the
cluster forms and the license is updated to a basic license, which
disables all realms. The request that is being authenticated then tries
to iterate over the realms, but the realms are empty and the request
cannot be authenticated. This results in a authentication failure even
though the credentials provided are correct.
Closes#30306
This commit moves the repository-s3 fixture test added in #29296 in a
new `repository-s3/qa/amazon-s3` project. This new project allows the
REST integration tests to be executed using the real S3 service when
all the required environment variables are provided. When no env var
is provided, then the tests are executed using the fixture added
in #29296.
The REST tests located at the `repository-s3`plugin project now only
verify that the plugin is correctly loaded.
The REST tests have been adapted to allow a bucket name and a base
path to be specified as env vars. This way it is possible to run the tests
with different base paths (could be anything, like a CI job name or a
branch name) without multiplicating buckets.

This commit makes x-pack a module and adds it to the default
distrubtion. It also creates distributions for zip, tar, deb and rpm
which contain only oss code.
