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 commit removes the SecuredString class that was previously used throughout the security code

settings infrastructure.

Changes the logging of LDAP authentication failures from "always" to "only if the user failed to be authenticated"
Previously there were cases (such has having 2 AD realms) where successful user authentication would still cause an INFO message to be written to the log for every request.
Now that message is suppressed, but a WARN message is added _if-and-only-if_ the user cannot be authenticated by any realm.
This is implemented via a new value stored in the ThreadContext that the AuthenticationService choses to log (or not log) depending on the result of the authenticate process.

This commit is response to the renaming of the random ASCII helper
methods in ESTestCase. The name of this method was changed because these
methods only produce random strings generated from [a-zA-Z], not from
all ASCII characters.

This commit adds the ability for x-pack extensions to optionally
provide custom roles providers, which are used to resolve any roles
into role descriptors that are not found in the reserved or native
realms. This feature enables the ability to define and provide roles
from other sources, without having to pre-define such roles in the security
config files.
