Jason Tedor d29844e597 Remove custom plugins path
This commit removes the ability to specify a custom plugins
path. Instead, the plugins path will always be a subdirectory called
"plugins" off of the home directory.

Jason Tedor c257e2c51f Remove settings and system properties entanglement
Today when parsing settings during bootstrap, we add a system property
for every Elasticsearch setting. Additionally, settings can be set via
system properties. This commit simplifies this situation.
 - settings are no longer propogated to system properties
 - system properties can not be used to set settings
 - the "es." prefix on settings is no longer required (nor permitted)
 - test logging has a dedicated system property (tests.logger.level)

Jason Tedor 56a07f70f7 Add note regarding thread stack size on Windows
This commit adds a note to the Windows service docs regarding the thread
stack size setting for the Windows service installer. As the Apache
Commons procrun daemon requires that this setting be explicitly set, we
need a value to be set when the service is installed. The right place
for this setting is the jvm.options file. We do not want to ship with a
hard-coded value here because we do not want to override the default
setting on other platforms, and the right default depends on whether or
not the end-user is on a 32-bit versus a 64-bit Windows system.

Jason Tedor 3879aa2a98 Add JVM options configuration file
This commit adds a new configuration file jvm.options to centralize and
simplify management of JVM options. This separates the configuration of
the JVM from the packaging scripts (bin/elasticsearch*, bin/service.bat,
and init.d/elasticsearch) simplifying end-user operational management of
custom JVM options.
