In the HL REST client we replace the License object with a string, because of
complexity of this class. It is also not really needed on the client side since
end-users are not interacting with the license besides passing it as a string
to the server.

This implementation behaves like the current transport client, that you basically cannot configure a Watch POJO representation as an argument to the put watch API, but only a bytes reference. You can use the the `WatchSourceBuilder` from the `org.elasticsearch.plugin:x-pack-core` dependency to build watches.
This commit also changes the license type to trial, so that watcher is available in high level rest client tests.

This commit adds the _xpack/usage api to the high level rest client.
Currently in the transport api, the usage data is exposed in a limited
fashion, at most giving one level of helper methods for the inner keys
of data, but then exposing thos subobjects as maps of objects. Rather
than making parsers for every set of usage data from each feature, this
PR exposes the entire set of usage data as a map of maps.
Originally I put the X-Pack info object into the top level rest client
object. I did that because we thought we'd like to squash `xpack` from
the name of the X-Pack APIs now that it is part of the default
distribution. We still kind of want to do that, but at least for now we
feel like it is better to keep the high level rest client aligned with
the other language clients like C# and Python. This shifts the X-Pack
info API to align with its json spec file.

This is the first x-pack API we're adding to the high level REST client
so there is a lot to talk about here!
= Open source
The *client* for these APIs is open source. We're taking the previously
Elastic licensed files used for the `Request` and `Response` objects and
relicensing them under the Apache 2 license.
The implementation of these features is staying under the Elastic
license. This lines up with how the rest of the Elasticsearch language
clients work.
= Location of the new files
We're moving all of the `Request` and `Response` objects that we're
relicensing to the `x-pack/protocol` directory. We're adding a copy of
the Apache 2 license to the root fo the `x-pack/protocol` directory to
line up with the language in the root `LICENSE.txt` file. All files in
this directory will have the Apache 2 license header as well. We don't
want there to be any confusion. Even though the files are under the
`x-pack` directory, they are Apache 2 licensed.
We chose this particular directory layout because it keeps the X-Pack
stuff together and easier to think about.
= Location of the API in the REST client
We've been following the layout of the rest-api-spec files for other
APIs and we plan to do this for the X-Pack APIs with one exception:
we're dropping the `xpack` from the name of most of the APIs. So
`xpack.graph.explore` will become `graph().explore()` and
`xpack.license.get` will become `license().get()`.
`xpack.info` and `xpack.usage` are special here though because they
don't belong to any proper category. For now I'm just calling
`xpack.info` `xPackInfo()` and intend to call usage `xPackUsage` though
I'm not convinced that this is the final name for them. But it does get
us started.
= Jars, jars everywhere!
This change makes the `xpack:protocol` project a `compile` scoped
dependency of the `x-pack:plugin:core` and `client:rest-high-level`
projects. I intend to keep it a compile scoped dependency of
`x-pack:plugin:core` but I intend to bundle the contents of the protocol
jar into the `client:rest-high-level` jar in a follow up. This change
has grown large enough at this point.
In that followup I'll address javadoc issues as well.
= Breaking-Java
This breaks that transport client by a few classes around. We've
traditionally been ok with doing this to the transport client.
