This commit adds detection of support for AES 256 bit ciphers and enables their use when the JVM
supports them. For OpenJDK, this is often the case without any changes but for the Oracle JVM, the
unlimited policy file needs to be installed. In order to simplify the work a user would need to do
we can detect this support and automatically enable the AES 256 bit versions of the ciphers we
already enable.

The deprecated handlers should have been removed earlier, but are now
going to to away finally.
Also the watcher restart action has been removed, mainly because users
should not blindly restart, but always make sure, that watcher is
stopped correctly before restarting. This had been removed from the
transport action previously.

Add an option to the ssl certificate generation tool (certgen) that generates PKCSelastic/x-pack-elasticsearch#12 (.p12) files in addition to the certificate (.crt) and key (.key) files.
A PKCSelastic/x-pack-elasticsearch#12 store is a container format for storing multiple crypto objects in a single file, which means we can put the cert and key into the same file.
These format is particularly useful for .NET environments, where .NET Core requires a single into file for PKI authentication.
Also adds documentation for all the command-line options in certgen.

The active directory user principal name format typically takes the form user@domain, which is what
the current implementation expects. However, active directory also allows the definition of other
suffixes that are not actual domains. A user can still authenticate using this user principal name
but the behavior of our realm would cause it to fail as it parsed the suffix as a domain and used it
as the search base for the user. Instead, we should use the default user search base and only look
for entries that have this exact user principal name. In a scenario where a realm is configured for
multiple domains in the same forest, the search base should be the base for the entire forest.

This commit adds support for a bind user when using the active directory realm. The addition of a
bind user also enables support for the user lookup mechanism, which is necessary to support the run
as functionality that we provide.

This commit adds a setting to allow changing the user search filter. Previously the filter was a
simple equality filter that mapped a given attribute to the value of the username. The default
behavior remains the same with this change but provides additional flexibility to users to who may
need more advanced LDAP searches. The user attribute setting has been deprecated due to the overlap
with the new filter setting.

This is step 2 of elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch#1604
This change stores `model_memory_limit` as a string with `mb` unit.
I considered using the `toString` method of `ByteSizeValue` but it
can lead to accuracy loss. Adding the fixed `mb` unit maintains
the accuracy, while making clear what unit the value is in.

There are multiple references to this section in different areas of the
documentation. This commit brings back this section to fix the build.
A more extensive PR updating the documentation for "no default
password" work will follow up.

This commit removes the system key from master and changes watcher to use a secure setting instead
for the encryption key.
Original commit: elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch@5ac95c60ef
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.
