It is common for users to wish to adjust the verification_mode in SSL
settings, usually with the intention of skipping hostname
verification. This has been supported for a long time, but the
relevant configuration setting was not clearly documented, which would
sometimes lead users to set `verification_mode` to `none`, and disable
more checks than they intended.
This commit adds clearer documentation regarding the options available
for `verification_mode` and actively discourages the use of `none`.

Adds a SecureSetting option for the "bind_password" in LDAP/AD realms
and deprecates the non-secure version.
LDAP bind passwords should now be configured with the setting
`xpack.security.authc.realms.REALM_NAME.secure_bind_password`
in the elasticsearch keystore.

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.

When the active directory realm was refactored to add support for authenticating against multiple
domains, only the default authenticator respected the user_search.filter setting. This commit moves
this down to the base authenticator and also changes the UPN filter to not include sAMAccountName
in the filter.
