This is related to elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch#1217. This PR removes the default password of
"changeme" from the reserved users.
This PR adds special behavior for authenticating the reserved users. No
ReservedRealm user can be authenticated until its password is set. The
one exception to this is the elastic user. The elastic user can be
authenticated with an empty password if the action is a rest request
originating from localhost. In this scenario where an elastic user is
authenticated with a default password, it will have metadata indicating
that it is in setup mode. An elastic user in setup mode is only
authorized to execute a change password request.

Support the resolution of remote index names, including those that contain wildcards in the cluster name or index part)
Specifically these work:
- `GET /remote*:foo/_search`
- `GET /*:foo/_search`
- `GET /*:foo,*/_search`
- `GET /remote:*/_search`
- `GET /*:*/_search`
This change assumes that every user is allowed to attempt a cross-cluster search against any remote index, and the actual authorisation of indices happens on the remote nodes. Thus ` GET /*:foo/_search` will expand to search the `foo` index on every registered remote without consideration of the roles and privileges that the user has on the source cluster.

Cross cluster search uses ClusterSearchShardsAction under the covers.
Without this change, you would need both "read_cross_cluster" and "view_index_metadata" privilegs in order to have permission to execute searches from a remote cluster.

This change removes the roles from the user in the remote cluster to show that the roles passed
from the source cluster are used in evaluating the user's permissions during multi-cluster search.

and replaces it with the SecureString class from core that was added as part of the new secure
