Adds a new `xpack.security.authc.accept_default_password` setting that defaults to `true`. If it is set to false, then the default password is not accepted in the reserved realm.
Adds a bootstrap check that the above setting must be set to `false` if security is enabled.
Adds docs for the new setting and bootstrap.
Changed `/_enable` and `/_disable`, to store a blank password if the user record did not previously exist, which is interpreted to mean "treat this user as having the default password". The previous functionality would explicitly set the user's password to `changeme`, which would then prevent the new configuration setting from doing its job.
For any existing reserved users that had their password set to `changeme`, migrates them to the blank password (per above paragraph)

This commit brings back support an auto-generated certificate and private key for
transport traffic. The auto-generated certificate and key can only be used in development
mode; when moving to production a key and certificate must be provided.
For the edge case of a user not wanting to encrypt their traffic, the user can set
the cipher_suites setting to `TLS_RSA_WITH_NULL_SHA256` or a like cipher, but a key/cert
is still required.

* Build: Convert xplugins to use new extra projects setup
This change makes the gradle initialization for xplugins look in the
correct location for elasticsearch, which is now as a sibling of an
elasticsearch-extra directory, with x-plugins as a child of the extra
directory.
The elasticsearch side of this change is
elastic/elasticsearchelastic/elasticsearch#21773. This change will enable renaming x-plugins
to x-pack, see elastic/elasticsearch#3643.

This commit adds basic tests that store a user and a role using the native API. The test checks
that the user and role can be used prior to starting the upgrade. The realm and roles caches are
also cleared to ensure the next authentication will require a read from the security index; this
ensures we are actually testing reads from the index.

When one of the 2 nodes in the old cluster is shut down, shards that were on that node will become unassigned and be marked to be
delay-allocated, i.e. either a node with shard data for that shard must be available or the allocation of the shards will be delayed for a minute.
In the mixed cluster the replica shard might not be allocated as the primary is already on the node with the newer version and replicas are not allowed
then to be allocated to a node of an older version of ES. Once both nodes are upgraded, the delay might still be in place, and can only be nullified if there
is shard data available on the node. If there never was a shard on that node though, it will take a minute and run into the timeout checking for green.
This commit ensures that all shards are fully-allocated before we do the rolling restart scenario
Original commit: elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch@a0d9b1b043
If the primary shard of an index with (number_of_replicas > 0) ends up on a new node in a mixed cluster, the replica cannot be allocated to the old node as
the new node might have written segments that use a new postings format or codec that is not available on the older node.
As x-pack automatically creates indices with number_of_replicas > 0, for example monitoring-data-*, the test can only wait for yellow in a mixed cluster.

This commit adds a timeout to the cluster health call that we wait on so that we can
see the status of the health request instead of getting timeouts failures with no
information to go on.

This change allows reads of our native users and roles when the template version has not been updated to
match the current version. This is useful for rolling upgrades where the nodes are also being actively
queried and/or indexed into. Without this, we can wreak havoc on a cluster by causing exceptions during
replication, which leads to shard failures. On nodes that match the version defined in the template,
write operations are allowed since we know that we are backwards compatible in terms of format but we
may have added new fields and shouldn't index them until the mappings and template have been updated.
As part of this, the rolling upgrade tests from core were used as the basis for a very basic set of tests
for doing a rolling upgrade with x-pack.
