If the underlying mount point for the JNA temporary directory is mounted
noexec on Linux, then the JVM will not be able to map the native code in
as executable. This will prevent JNA from executing and will prevent
Elasticsearch from being able to execute some functions that rely on
native code (e.g., memory locking, and installing system call
filters). We do not want to get into the business of catching exceptions
and parsing messages towards this because these exception messages can
change on us. We also do not want to jump through a lot of hoops to
check the underlying mount point for noexec. Instead, we will rely on
documentation to address this problem. This commit adds to the important
system configuration section of the docs that the JNA temporary
directory is not on a mount point with the noexec mount option.
