This commit is related to elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch#1896. Currently setup mode means that the
password must be set post 6.0 for using x-pack. This interferes with
upgrade tests as setting the password fails without a properly
upgraded security index.
This commit loosens two aspects of the security.
1. The old default password will be accept in setup mode (requests
from localhost).
2. All request types can be submitted in setup mode.

This commit removes the system key from master and changes watcher to use a secure setting instead
for the encryption key.

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.

The .security index used several different types to differentiate the
documents added to the index (users, reserved-users, roles, etc). Since
types are deprecated in 6.x, this commit changes the .security index
access layer to only use a single type and have all documents in the
index be of that single type. To differentiate documents that may have
the same id (e.g. the same user name and role name), the appropriate
type of the document is prepended to the id. For example, a user named
"jdoe" will now have the document id "user-jdoe".
This commit also ensures that any native realm security index operations
that lead to auto creation of the security index first go through the process
of creating the internal security index (.security-v6) and creating the alias
.security to point to the internal index.
Lastly, anytime the security index is accessed without having been
upgraded, an exception is thrown notifying the user to use the
upgrade API to upgrade the security index.

This commit adds new settings for the ssl keystore (not the ES keystore)
passphrase settings. New setting names are used, instead of trying to
support the existing names in both yml and the ES keystore, so that
there does not need to be complicated logic between the two. Note that
the old settings remain the only way to set the ssl passphrases for the
transport client, but the Settings object for transport clients are
created in memory by users, so they are already as "secure" as having a
loaded ES keystore. Also note that in the long term future (6.x
timeframe?) these settings should be deprecated and the keys/certs
themselves should be moved into the ES keystore, so there will be no
need for separate keystores/passphrases.

Adds tests similar to `:qa:full-cluster-restart` for x-pack. You
run them with `gradle :x-pack:qa:full-cluster-restart:check`.
The actual tests are as basic as it gets: create a doc and load it,
shut down, upgrade to master, startup, and load it. Create a user
and load it, shut down, upgrade to master, startup, and load it.
