This commit removes the link to an oss-MSI; there is only one version of the MSI, which includes X-Pack.
(cherry picked from commit d2e5db8a806ec8a25162f79db5209aceed4f30f7)
This switches the docs tests from the `oss-zip` distribution to the
`zip` distribution so they have xpack installed and configured with the
default basic license. The goal is to be able to merge the
`x-pack/docs` directory into the `docs` directory, marking the x-pack
docs with some kind of marker. This is the first step in that process.
This also enables `-Dtests.distribution` support for the `docs`
directory so you can run the tests against the `oss-zip` distribution
with something like
```
./gradlew -p docs check -Dtests.distribution=oss-zip
```
We can set up Jenkins to run both.

This commit adds the distribution type to the startup scripts so that we
can discern from log output and the main response the type of the
distribution (deb/rpm/tar/zip).
This commit adds the distribution flavor (default versus oss) to the
build process which is passed through the startup scripts to
Elasticsearch. This change will be used to customize the message on
attempting to install/remove x-pack based on the distribution flavor.
Historically, the bootstrap checks used 2048 as the minimum limit for
the maximum number of threads. This limit was guided by the fact that
the number of processors was artificially capped at 32. This limit was
removed in 6.0.0 and the minimum limit was raised to 4096 to accommodate
this. However, the docs were not updated and this commit addresses that
miss.
This is a follow up to a previous change which set the error file path
for the package distributions. The observation here is that we always
set the working directory of Elasticsearch to the root of the
installation (i.e., Elasticsearch home). Therefore, we can specify the
error file path relative to this directory and default it to the logs
directory, similar to the package distributions.
This is a follow up to a previous change which set the heap dump path
for the package distributions. The observation here is that we always
set the working directory of Elasticsearch to to the root of
installation (i.e., Elasticsearch home). Therefore, we can specify the
heap dump path relative to this directory and default it to the data
directory, similar to the package distributions.
We previously specified the -server flag to force the JVM to use the
server JVM. This is the default on all the systems that we support when
using a 64-bit JVM (and we no longer support 32-bit JVMs). There was
some trouble with this flag for the Windows service since procrun did
not understand what to do with it; as such, we had to filter this flag
out in the service. When we migrated to parsing JVM options in Java (via
the JVM options parser) we simplified this situation and removed
specifying the -server flag. This commit removes a leftover statement
that we are forcing the server JVM.

The Windows service will use a private temporary directory under the
user that is performing the installation. In cases when the service will
run as a different user, operators need a method to set this temporary
directory elsewhere. We have such a mechanism, so this commit merely
adds a note to the documentation on how to utilize it.

* Only bind loopback addresses when binding to local
Today when binding to local (the default) we bind to any address that is
a loopback address, or any address on an interface that declares itself
as a loopback interface. Yet, not all addresses on loopback interfaces
are loopback addresses. This arises on macOS where there is a link-local
address assigned to the loopback interface (fe80::1%lo0) and in Docker
services where virtual IPs of the service are assigned to the loopback
interface (docker/libnetwork#1877). These situations cause problems:
- because we do not handle the scope ID of a link-local address, we end
up bound to an address for which publishing of that address does not
allow that address to be reached (since we drop the scope)
- the virtual IPs in the Docker situation are not loopback addresses,
they are not link-local addresses, so we end up bound to interfaces
that cause the bootstrap checks to be enforced even though the
instance is only bound to local
We address this by only binding to actual loopback addresses, and skip
binding to any address on a loopback interface that is not a loopback
address. This lets us simplify some code where in the bootstrap checks
we were skipping link-local addresses, and in writing the ports file
where we had to skip link-local addresses because again the formatting
of them does not allow them to be connected to by another node (to be
clear, they could be connected to via the scope-qualified address, but
that information is not written out).

This commit reorganizes some of the content in the configuring
Elasticsearch section of the docs. The changes are:
- move JVM options out of system configuration into configuring
Elasticsearch
- move JVM options to its own page of the docs
- move configuring the heap to important Elasticsearch settings
- move configuring the heap to its own page of the docs
- move all important settings to individual pages in the docs
- remove bootstrap.memory_lock from important settings, this is covered
in the swap section of system configuration

JDK 9 has removed JVM options that were valid in JDK 8 (e.g., GC logging
flags) and replaced them with new flags that are not available in JDK
8. This means that a single JVM options file can no longer apply to JDK
8 and JDK 9, complicating development, complicating our packaging story,
and complicating operations. This commit extends the JVM options syntax
to specify the range of versions the option applies to. If the running
JVM matches the range of versions, the flag will be used to start the
JVM otherwise the flag will be ignored.
We implement this parser in Java for simplicity, and with this we start
our first step towards a Java launcher.

For too long we have been groping around in the dark when faced with GC
issues because we rarely have GC logs at our disposal. This commit
enables GC logging by default out of the box.

When these docs were moved they should have been moved to the system
configuration docs. This commit does that, and also fixes a missing
heading that broke the docs build.
Previously the bootstrap check for max number of threads was increased
from 2048 to 4096 yet the docs were never adjusted for this change. This
commit addresses this so the docs are in-line with the limit enforced in
the bootstrap check.

Running with the all permission java.security.AllPermission granted is
equivalent to disabling the security manager. This commit adds a
bootstrap check that forbids running with this permission granted.

This commit removes the ability to use ${prompt.secret} and
${prompt.text} as valid config settings. Secure settings has obsoleted
the need for this, and it cleans up some of the code in Bootstrap.
* Update Docker docs for 6.0.0-rc2
* Update the docs to match the new Docker "image flavours" of "basic",
"platinum", and "oss".

* Bump docker-compose 2.x format to 2.2
* Combine Docker Toolbox instructions for setting vm.max_map_count for
both macOS + Windows
