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.

settings infrastructure.

* Changed ML action names to allow distinguishing of admin and read-only actions
using wildcards
* Added manage_ml and monitor_ml built-in privileges as subsets of the existing
manage and monitor privileges
* Added out-of-the-box machine_learning_admin and machine_learning_user roles
* Changed machine learning results endpoints to use a NodeClient rather than an
InternalClient when searching for results so that index/document level permissions
applied to ML results are respected
