Fix reference about the uid:gid that Elasticsearch runs as inside
the Docker container and add a packaging test to ensure that bind
mounting a data dir with a random uid and gid:0 works as
expected.

Backport of #47573.
Closes#43603. Allow environment variables to be passed to ES in a Docker
container via a file, by setting an environment variable with the `_FILE`
suffix that points to the file with the intended value of the env var.
Today's `docker-compose` docs are missing the `discovery.seed_nodes` config on
one of the nodes. With today's configuration the cluster can still form the
first time it is started, because `cluster.initial_master_nodes` requires both
nodes to bootstrap the cluster which ensures that each discover the other.
However if `es02` is elected master it will remove `es01` from the voting
configuration and then when restarted it will form a cluster on its own without
needing to do any discovery. Meanwhile `es01` doesn't know how to find `es02`
after a restart so will be unable to join this cluster.
This commit fixes this by adding the missing configuration.

Renames the following settings to remove the mention of `zen` in their names:
- `discovery.zen.hosts_provider` -> `discovery.seed_providers`
- `discovery.zen.ping.unicast.concurrent_connects` -> `discovery.seed_resolver.max_concurrent_resolvers`
- `discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts.resolve_timeout` -> `discovery.seed_resolver.timeout`
- `discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts` -> `discovery.seed_addresses`
Some systems default to a nofile ulimit of 65535. To reduce the pain of
deploying Elasticsearch to such systems, this commit lowers the required
limit from 65536 to 65535.
This commit overhauls the documentation of discovery and cluster coordination,
removing mention of the Zen Discovery module and replacing it with docs for the
new cluster coordination mechanism introduced in 7.0.

Recent Docker for Mac releases[1] have a different path to the tty for
accessing the console of the xhyve vm, required for altering the
`vm.max_map_count` sysctl.
Update instructions on how to enter the xhyve vm for altering the
`vm.max_map_count` sysctl setting on Docker for Mac.
Closes#34817

"platinum", and "oss".
* Clarifications for Openshift and bind-mounts
* Bump docker-compose 2.x format to 2.2
* Combine Docker Toolbox instructions for setting vm.max_map_count for
both macOS + Windows
* devicemapper is not the default storage driver any more on RHEL
Add info about the base image used and the github repo of
elasticsearch-docker.
Clarify that setting `memlock=-1:-1` is only a requirement when
`bootstrap_memory_lock=true` and the alternatives we document
elsewhere in docs for disabling swap are valid for Docker as well.
Additionally, with latest versions of docker-ce shipping with
unlimited (or high enough) defaults for `nofile` and `nproc`, clarify
that explicitly setting those per ES container is not required, unless
they are not defined in the Docker daemon.
Finally simplify production `docker-compose.yml` example by removing
unneeded options.

Elasticsearch runs as user elasticsearch with uid:gid 1000:1000 inside
the Docker container. Clarify that bind mounted local directories need
to be accessible by this user.

Today Elasticsearch allows default settings to be used only if the
actual setting is not set. These settings are trappy, and the complexity
invites bugs. This commit removes support for default settings with the
exception of default.path.data, default.path.conf, and default.path.logs
which are maintainted to support packaging. A follow-up will remove
support for these as well.

Fix the `Dockerfile` example in the `Customizing image` third configuration
method by adding the missing RUN instruction.

The reference for the jvm.options docs recently changed from
es-java-opts to jvm-options. This commit fixes a broken reference that
arose as a result of this change.
