In order to support the repository split, this changes the
`AbstractWatcherIntegrationTestCase` to not run with security enabled.
We have a dedicated QA project called `smoke-test-watcher-with-security`,
where tests that explicitely need security should be running.
This commit removes the possibility to enable security as part of the
test case. In addition some tests have been moved over to the dedicated
project.
In addition the `timewarp` functionality cannot be configured with a
system property anymore. This would not have worked anyway, because
tests were already dependent on that functionality and did not have any
other means of running. A bit of redundant code was removed due to this.

In order to be able to execute a watch as the user, who stored the
watch, this commit stores certain headers of the thread context, that
was used when the watch was stored.
Upon loading the watch the headers are loaded and applied for the
following watcher execution features
* search transform
* search input
* index action
A special case is the execute watch API, which overrides the headers loaded
from the watch with the one of the current request, so that a user
cannot execute this watch with other privileges of the user who stored it.
Only the headers "es-security-runas-user", "_xpack_security_authentication" are
copied for now, as those are needed for our security features.
The headers are stored in watch status in the watch and are not returned by default,
when the GET Watch API is used. A search reveals those of course.

This change removes the InternalClient and the InternalSecurityClient. These are replaced with
usage of the ThreadContext and a transient value, `action.origin`, to indicate which component the
request came from. The security code has been updated to look for this value and ensure the
request is executed as the proper user. This work comes from elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch#2808 where @s1monw suggested
that we do this.
While working on this, I came across index template registries and rather than updating them to use
the new method, I replaced the ML one with the template upgrade framework so that we could
remove this template registry. The watcher template registry is still needed as the template must be
updated for rolling upgrades to work (see elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch#2950).

This is related to elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch#1217. This PR removes the default password of
"changeme" from the reserved users.
This PR adds special behavior for authenticating the reserved users. No
ReservedRealm user can be authenticated until its password is set. The
one exception to this is the elastic user. The elastic user can be
authenticated with an empty password if the action is a rest request
originating from localhost. In this scenario where an elastic user is
authenticated with a default password, it will have metadata indicating
that it is in setup mode. An elastic user in setup mode is only
authorized to execute a change password request.

The current testing setup only checked if watcher was started, but it
also needs to check for the index template in order to be sure that
everything is set up correctly, before trying to put a watch.

The distribution of watches now happens on the node which holds the
watches index, instead of on the master node. This requires several
changes to the current implementation.
1. Running on shards and replicas
In order to run watches on the nodes with the watches index on its
primaries and replicas. To ensure that watches do not run twice, there is
a logic which checks the local shards, runs a murmurhash on the id and
runs modulo against the number of shards and replicas, this is the way to
find out, if a watch should run local. Reloading happens
2. Several master node actions moved to a HandledTransportAction, as they
are basically just aliases for indexing actions, among them the
put/delete/get watch actions, the acknowledgement action, the de/activate
actions
3. Stats action moved to a broadcast node action, because we potentially
have to query every node to get watcher statistics
4. Starting/Stopping watcher now is a master node action, which updates
the cluster state and then listeners acts on those. Because of this watches
can be running on two systems, if you those have different cluster state
versions, until the new watcher state is propagated
5. Watcher is started on all nodes now. With the exception of the ticker
schedule engine most classes do not need a lot of resources while running.
However they have to run, because of the execute watch API, which can hit
any node - it does not make sense to find the right shard for this watch
and only then execute (as this also has to work with a watch, that has not
been stored before)
6. By using a indexing operation listener, each storing of a watch now
parses the watch first and only stores on successful parsing
7. Execute watch API now uses the watcher threadpool for execution
8. Getting the number of watches for the stats now simply queries the
different execution engines, how many watches are scheduled, so this is
not doing a search anymore
There will be follow up commits on this one, mainly to ensure BWC compatibility.

This commit removes the SecuredString class that was previously used throughout the security code
and replaces it with the SecureString class from core that was added as part of the new secure
settings infrastructure.

The yaml test runner now throws error when skip or do sections are malformed, such as they don't start with the proper token (START_OBJECT). That signals bad indentation, which was previously ignored. Thanks (or due to) our pull parsing code, we were still able to properly parse the sections, yet other runners weren't able to.
