Applying the rest test gradle plugin already uses the zip distribution
by default, so specifying it explicitly is not necessary. These are
leftovers from before zip was the default for rest tests.
Generalizing BWC building so that there is less code to modify for a release. This ensures we do not
need to think about what major or minor version is in the gradle code. It follows the general rules of the
elastic release structure. For more information on the rules, see the VersionCollection's javadoc.
This also removes the additional bwc snapshots that will never be released, such as 6.0.2, which were
being built and tested against every time we ran bwc tests.
Additionally, it creates 4 new projects that correspond to the different types of snapshots that may exist
for a given version. Its possible to now run those individual tasks to work out bwc logic whereas
previously it was impossible and the entire suite of bwc tests had to be run to work out any logic
changes in the build tools' bwc project. Please note that if the project does not make sense for the
version that is current, that an error will be thrown from that individual project if an attempt is made to
run it.
This should allow for automating the version bumps as well, since it removes all the hardcoded version
logic from the configs.
Currently if the Lucene version is `X.Y.Z-snapshot-{gitrev}`, then we will
expect the docs to have `X.Y.Z-snapshot` as a Lucene version. I would like
to change it to `X.Y.Z` so that this doesn't need changing when we move from a
snapshot to a final release.
The Lucene version constants for 5.4.1 and 5.5.0 are wrong, they are
listed as 6.5.0 instead of 6.5.1. This commit fixes these issues, and
adds a test to ensure that this does not happen again.
