Alexander Reelsen 04d2f3e061 Docs: Mention in migration doc that order to dynamic arguments is important
Due to the limited abilities of parsing of dynamic (not configured) arguments
like `http.cors.enabled`, that dont map to a command line argument but will
become configuration, we need to mention explicitely, that those dynamic arguments
must come last.

Also fixed some mentions of a memory index setting, that does not exist anymore.

jaymode 78630e03a2 make prompt placeholders consistent with existing placeholders
In #10918, we introduced the prompt placeholders. These were had a different format
than our existing placeholders. This changes the prompt placeholders to follow the
format of the existing placeholders.

Relates to #11455

jaymode f6191d05de add ability to prompt for selected settings on startup
Some settings may be considered sensitive, such as passwords, and storing them
in the configuration file on disk is not good from a security perspective. This change
allows settings to have a special value, `${prompt::text}` or `${prompt::secret}`, to
indicate that  elasticsearch should prompt the user for the actual value on startup.
This only works when started in the foreground. In cases where elasticsearch is started
as a service or in the background, an exception will be thrown.

Alexander Reelsen 045f01c085 Infra for deprecation logging
Add support for a specific deprecation logging that can be used to turn
on in order to notify users of a specific feature, flag, setting,
parameter, ... being deprecated.

The deprecation logger logs with a "deprecation." prefix logge
(or "org.elasticsearch.deprecation." if full name is used), and outputs
the logging to a dedicated deprecation log file.

Deprecation logging are logged under the DEBUG category. The idea is not to
enabled them by default (under WARN or ERROR) when running embedded in
another application.

By default they are turned off (INFO), in order to turn it on, the
"deprecation" category need to be set to DEBUG. This can be set in the
logging file or using the cluster update settings API, see the documentation

Simon Willnauer d82a434d10 [STORE] Make a hybrid directory default using `mmapfs` and `niofs`
`mmapfs` is really good for random access but can have sideeffects if
memory maps are large depending on the operating system etc. A hybrid
solution where only selected files are actually memory mapped but others
mostly consumed sequentially brings the best of both worlds and
minimizes the memory map impact.
This commit mmaps only the `dvd` and `tim` file for fast random access
on docvalues and term dictionaries.

Holger Hoffstätte f5c9bf6f0f Update JNA to latest version
Updating to this version allows to configure a special JNA directory,
in case the /tmp directory is mounted with the noexec option, as JNA
extracts some data and tries to execute parts of it.

Also updated documentation to clarify mlockall and memory settings as well
as pointing to the new jna.tmpdir system property.

Alexander Reelsen c30945a3d8 Start elasticsearch in the foreground by default
Instead of using the '-f' parameter to start elasticsearch in the
foreground, this is now the default modus.

In order to start elasticsearch in the background, the '-d' parameter
can be used.
