This commit also adds a test for specifying CONF_DIR when installing plugins and
starting elasticsearch.

When installed as a service with a DEB or RPM package, we should gently wait for elasticsearch to stop (flushing indices on closing can take some time) and never kill the process.
Closes#11248
This change creates a proper `distribution` modules in which we have today packaging for
all of our four current packages:
* zip
* tar.gz
* rpm
* deb
Licenes have moved into the distribution project as well. So have the config/ and the bin/ directory
from the core/ project.
The RPM package is now built, if rpmbuild exists.
The bats tests have been moved as well.
Also the zip distribution now executes the REST integration tests.
