This adds the ability for the IdP to define wildcard service
providers in a JSON file within the ES node's config directory.
If a request is made for a service provider that has not been
registered, then the set of wildcard services is consulted. If the
SP entity-id and ACS match one of the wildcard patterns, then a
dynamic service provider is defined from the associated mustache
template.

In order to prepare the `AliasOrIndex` abstraction for the introduction of data streams,
the abstraction needs to be made more flexible, because currently it really can be only
an alias or an index.
* Renamed `AliasOrIndex` to `IndexAbstraction`.
* Introduced a `IndexAbstraction.Type` enum to indicate what a `IndexAbstraction` instance is.
* Replaced the `isAlias()` method that returns a boolean with the `getType()` method that returns the new Type enum.
* Moved `getWriteIndex()` up from the `IndexAbstraction.Alias` to the `IndexAbstraction` interface.
* Moved `getAliasName()` up from the `IndexAbstraction.Alias` to the `IndexAbstraction` interface and renamed it to `getName()`.
* Removed unnecessary casting to `IndexAbstraction.Alias` by just checking the `getType()` method.

This change merges the "feature-internal-idp" branch into Elasticsearch.
This introduces a small identity-provider plugin as a child of the x-pack module.
This allows ES to act as a SAML IdP, for users who are authenticated against the
Elasticsearch cluster.
This feature is intended for internal use within Elastic Cloud environments
and is not supported for any other use case. It falls under an enterprise license tier.
The IdP is disabled by default.
