This commit reorganizes some of the content in the configuring
Elasticsearch section of the docs. The changes are:
- move JVM options out of system configuration into configuring
Elasticsearch
- move JVM options to its own page of the docs
- move configuring the heap to important Elasticsearch settings
- move configuring the heap to its own page of the docs
- move all important settings to individual pages in the docs
- remove bootstrap.memory_lock from important settings, this is covered
in the swap section of system configuration

Our strong recommendation is disabling swap over any other alternative
to avoid the JVM from landing on disk. This commit clarifies the docs in
this regard.
This commit fixes the documentation for configuring the Java I/O temp
dir which incorrectly suggested using the -D flag as a parameter on the
command line; these flags have been removed and should now be specified
as arguments to the JVM using either the ES_JAVA_OPTS environment
variable or using the jvm.options configuration file.
Closes#20652
and be much more stingy about what we consider a console candidate.
* Add `// CONSOLE` to check-running
* Fix version in some snippets
* Mark groovy snippets as groovy
* Fix versions in plugins
* Fix language marker errors
* Fix language parsing in snippets
This adds support for snippets who's language is written like
`[source, txt]` and `["source","js",subs="attributes,callouts"]`.
This also makes language required for snippets which is nice because
then we can be sure we can grep for snippets in a particular language.
The setting bootstrap.mlockall is useful on both POSIX-like systems
(POSIX mlockall) and Windows (Win32 VirtualLock). But mlockall is really
a POSIX only thing so the name should not be tied POSIX. This commit
renames the setting to "bootstrap.memory_lock".
Relates #18669
This commit adds a new configuration file jvm.options to centralize and
simplify management of JVM options. This separates the configuration of
the JVM from the packaging scripts (bin/elasticsearch*, bin/service.bat,
and init.d/elasticsearch) simplifying end-user operational management of
custom JVM options.
