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`.

For the user cache, the crypt option rounds are actually the log2 of the number
of rounds. This commits updates the documentation to reflect this.

We specify an alias for signing key, but when we just have
a single key in key store this is an additional setting which
is annoying. This PR addresses this issue by making it optional.
- Changes in SamlRealmSettings to make signing/encryption
key alias optional
- Checks if none of the keys are useful for given operation
signing or encryption throws an error.
- Checks for no of aliases in key-store, if more than one and alias
is not specified throws error.
- If an alias is not specified and there is just one alias in
keystore then use it as the credential.
- Unit Tests
Note: A side effect of this change the above-mentioned behavior is
it's also applicable for encryption keys currently, but it is going
to change when fixing elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch#3980 for supporting multiple encryption keys.

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.

* Additional settings for SAML NameID policy
We should not be populating SPNameQualifier by default as it is
intended to be used to specify an alternate SP EntityID rather than
our own. Some IdPs (ADFS) fail when presented with this value.
This commit
- makes the SPNameQualifier a setting that defaults to blank
- adds a setting for "AllowCreate"
- documents the above

* Security Realms: Predictable ordering for realms
To have predictable ordering of realms, by having secondary
sorting on realm name resulting in stable and consistent documentation.
Documentation update describing how ordering of realms is determined.
Testing done by adding unit test for the change, ran gradle clean check locally.

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

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.

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.

This changes the validation criteria we use for user and role
names in the file realm, native realm, and the
realm-agnostic code in x-pack security. The new criteria is:
A valid username's length must be at least 1 and no more than 1024
characters. It may not contain leading or trailing whitespace. All
characters in the name must be be alphanumeric (`a-z`, `A-Z`, `0-9`),
printable punctuation or symbols in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Latin_(Unicode_block)[Basic Latin (ASCII) block],
or the space character.

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.
