This commit proposes removing an unnecessary directory push/pop from the
X-Pack scripts. It is not clear exactly why these were added, the
original change was almost three years ago in
elastic/x-pack@ea9ba7cdd0 but
unfortunately the commit message does not elucidate the exact the
problem, nor is there an associated pull request. This change has
propogated into all of the X-Pack scripts yet still the reasons are
unclear. The little that we can glean from the commit message is that
there was a problem with the default paths if the script was executed
outside of the Elasticsearch home. It seems that such issues have been
addressed by the recent introduction of elasticsearch-env so maybe we
can simplify these scripts here?

This commit responds to an upstream change which removes the --path.conf
command-line flag and instead uses the replacement mechanism for setting
the configuration path via the system property es.path.conf.

This commit removes a legacy check for an unsupported environment
variable. This environment variable has not been supported since 1.x so
it is safe to stop checking for the existence of this setting.

Today we explicitly export the HOSTNAME variable from scripts. This is
probably a relic from the days when the scripts were not run on bash but
instead assume a POSIX-compliant shell only where HOSTNAME is not
guaranteed to exist. Yet, bash guarantees that HOSTNAME is set so we do
not need to set it in scripts. This commit removes this legacy.

This is related to elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch#1217. This change introduces a tool
bin/x-pack/setup-passwords that will streamline the setting of
internal user passwords. There are two modes of operation. One mode
called auto, automatically generates passwords and prints them to
the console. The second mode called interactive allows the user to
enter passwords.
All passwords are changed using the elastic superuser. The elastic
password is the first password to be set.
