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.

This change removes `xpack.security.authc.token.passphrase` entirely since from
6.0 onwards we use randomly generated keys by the master there is no need for
this setting anymore. This setting will be deprecated from 6.0 onwards.

`authc.token.enabled` is true unless `http.ssl.enabled` is `false` and `http.enabled` is `true`.
* TokenService default enabled if HTTP_ENABLED == false
* Fixed tests that need TokenService explicitly enabled
* [DOC] Default value for `xpack.security.authc.token.enabled`

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 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.

Original commit: elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch@6349f665f5
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.
