This commit enableds strict settings validation on node startup. All settings
passed to elasticsearch either through system properties, yaml files or any other
way to pass settings must be registered and valid. Settings that are unknown ie. due to
typos or due to deprecation or removal will cause the node to NOT start up. Plugins
have to declare all their settings on the `SettingsModule#registerSetting` and settings for
plugins that are not installed must be removed.
This commit also removes the ability to specify the nodes name via `-Des.name` or just `name` in the
configuration files. The node name must be prefixed with the node prexif like `node.name: Boom`. Left over
usage of `name` will also cause startup to fail.
This commit method renames the ScriptEngineService interface methods
types, extensions, and sandboxed to getTypes, getExtensions, and
isSandboxed, respectively.
This commit converts the script mode settings to the new settings
infrastructure. This is a major refactoring of the handling of script
mode settings. This refactoring is necessary because these settings are
determined at runtime based on the registered script engines and the
registered script contexts.
The rest test framework, because it used to be tightly integrated with
ESIntegTestCase, currently expects the addresses for the test cluster to
be passed using the transport protocol port. However, it only uses this
to then find the http address.
This change makes ESRestTestCase extend from ESTestCase instead of
ESIntegTestCase, and changes the sysprop used to tests.rest.cluster,
which now takes the http address.

Site plugins used to be used for things like kibana and marvel, but
there is no longer a need since kibana (and marvel as a kibana plugin)
uses node.js. This change removes site plugins, as well as the flag for
jvm plugins. Now all plugins are jvm plugins.
This fixes the `lenient` parameter to be `missingClasses`. I will remove this boolean and we can handle them via the normal whitelist.
It also adds a check for sheisty classes (jar hell with the jdk).
This is inspired by the lucene "sheisty" classes check, but it has false positives. This check is more evil, it validates every class file against the extension classloader as a resource, to see if it exists there. If so: jar hell.
This jar hell is a problem for several reasons:
1. causes insanely-hard-to-debug problems (like bugs in forbidden-apis)
2. hides problems (like internal api access)
3. the code you think is executing, is not really executing
4. security permissions are not what you think they are
5. brings in unnecessary dependencies
6. its jar hell
The more difficult problems are stuff like jython, where these classes are simply 'uberjared' directly in, so you cant just fix them by removing a bogus dependency. And there is a legit reason for them to do that, they want to support java 1.4.
Since 2.2 we run all scripts with minimal privileges, similar to applets in your browser.
The problem is, they have unrestricted access to other things they can muck with (ES, JDK, whatever).
So they can still easily do tons of bad things
This PR restricts what classes scripts can load via the classloader mechanism, to make life more difficult.
The "standard" list was populated from the old list used for the groovy sandbox: though
a few more were needed for tests to pass (java.lang.String, java.util.Iterator, nothing scary there).
Additionally, each scripting engine typically needs permissions to some runtime stuff.
That is the downside of this "good old classloader" approach, but I like the transparency and simplicity,
and I don't want to waste my time with any feature provided by the engine itself for this, I don't trust them.
This is not perfect and the engines are not perfect but you gotta start somewhere. For expert users that
need to tweak the permissions, we already support that via the standard java security configuration files, the
specification is simple, supports wildcards, etc (though we do not use them ourselves).
