* Add ability for plugins to declare additional permissions with a custom plugin-security.policy file and corresponding AccessController logic. See the plugin author's guide for more information.
* Add warning messages to users for extra plugin permissions in bin/plugin.
* When bin/plugin is run interactively (stdin is a controlling terminal and -b/--batch not supplied), require user confirmation.
* Improve unit test and IDE support for plugins with additional permissions by exposing plugin's metadata as a maven test resource.

Add paranoia
Groovy holds on to a classloader, so check it before compilation too.
I have not reviewed yet what Rhino is doing, but just be safe.

Add SpecialPermission to guard exceptions to security policy.
In some cases (e.g. buggy cloud libraries, scripting engines), we must
grant dangerous permissions to contained cases. Those AccessController blocks
are dangerous, since they truncate the stack, and can allow privilege escalation.
This PR adds a simple permission to check before each one, so that unprivileged code
like groovy scripts, can't do anything they shouldn't be allowed to do otherwise.
Plugin tests require having rest-api tests, and currently copy that spec
from a directory in the root of the plugin source into the test
resources. This change moves the rest-api-spec dir into test resources
so it is like any other test resources. It also removes unnecessary
configuration for resources from the shared plugin pom.
When running a RestIT test from the IDE, you actually start an internal node which does not automatically load the plugin you would like to test.
We need to add:
```java
@Override
protected Collection<Class<? extends Plugin>> nodePlugins() {
return pluginList(PLUGIN_HERE.class);
}
```
Everything works fine when running from maven because each test basically:
* installs elasticsearch
* installs one plugin
* starts elasticsearch with this plugin loaded
* runs the test
Note that this PR only fixes the fact we run an internal cluster with the expected plugin.
Cloud tests will still fail when run from the IDE because is such a case you actually start an internal node with many mock plugins.
And REST test suite for cloud plugins basically checks if the plugin is running by checking the output of NodesInfo API.
And we check:
```yml
- match: { nodes.$master.plugins.0.name: cloud-azure }
- match: { nodes.$master.plugins.0.jvm: true }
```
But in that case, this condition is certainly false as we started also `mock-transport-service`, `mock-index-store`, `mock-engine-factory`, `node-mocks`, `asserting-local-transport`, `mock-search-service`.
Closes#13479
Instead of asking blob store to create output for posting blob content, this change provides that content of the blob to the blob store for writing. This will significantly simplify the interface for S3 and Azure plugins.
Until now we had a cloud-aws plugin which is providing 2 disctinct features:
* discovery on EC2
* snapshot/restore on S3
This commit splits the plugin by feature so people can use either one or the other or both features.
Doc is updated accordingly.
