* Pass COMPUTERNAME env var to elasticsearch.bat
When we run bin/elasticsearch with bash, we get a $HOSTNAME builtin that
contains the hostname of the machine the script is running on. When
there's no provided nodename, Elasticsearch uses the HOSTNAME to create
a nodename. On Windows, Powershell provides a $COMPUTERNAME variable for
the same purpose. CMD.EXE provides the same thing, except it's called
%COMPUTERNAME%. bin/elasticsearch.bat sets $HOSTNAME to the value of
$COMPUTERNAME. However, when testclusters invokes bin/elasticsearch.bat,
the COMPUTERNAME variable doesn't get passed in, leaving HOSTNAME null
and breaking an integration test on Windows.
This commit sets COMPUTERNAME in the environment so that our tests get
the value that Elasticsearch would have when bin/elasticsearch.bat is
invoked from the shell.
* Add null check to protect in non-Windows case
What good is it a developer to gain the whole Windows if they forfeit
their Unix? The value that fixes things on Windows is null on
Linux/Darwin, so let's null-check it.
* Override system hostnames for testclusters
Rather than relying on variable system behavior, let's just override
HOSTNAME and COMPUTERNAME and test for correct values in the integration
test that was originally failing.
* Rename constants for clarity
Since we are setting HOSTNAME and COMPUTERNAME regardless of whether the
tests are running on Windows or Linux, we shouldn't imply that constants
are only used in one case or the other.
In order to support JSON log format, a custom pattern layout was used and its configuration is enclosed in ESJsonLayout. Users are free to use their own patterns, but if smooth Beats integration is needed, they should use ESJsonLayout. EvilLoggerTests are left intact to make sure user's custom log patterns work fine.
To populate additional fields node.id and cluster.uuid which are not available at start time,
a cluster state update will have to be received and the values passed to log4j pattern converter.
A ClusterStateObserver.Listener is used to receive only one ClusteStateUpdate. Once update is received the nodeId and clusterUUid are set in a static field in a NodeAndClusterIdConverter.
Following fields are expected in JSON log lines: type, tiemstamp, level, component, cluster.name, node.name, node.id, cluster.uuid, message, stacktrace
see ESJsonLayout.java for more details and field descriptions
Docker log4j2 configuration is now almost the same as the one use for ES binary.
The only difference is that docker is using console appenders, whereas ES is using file appenders.

Changes the default of the `node.name` setting to the hostname of the
machine on which Elasticsearch is running. Previously it was the first 8
characters of the node id. This had the advantage of producing a unique
name even when the node name isn't configured but the disadvantage of
being unrecognizable and not being available until fairly late in the
startup process. Of particular interest is that it isn't available until
after logging is configured. This forces us to use a volatile read
whenever we add the node name to the log.
Using the hostname is available immediately on startup and is generally
recognizable but has the disadvantage of not being unique when run on
machines that don't set their hostname or when multiple elasticsearch
processes are run on the same host. I believe that, taken together, it
is better to default to the hostname.
1. Running multiple copies of Elasticsearch on the same node is a fairly
advanced feature. We do it all the as part of the elasticsearch build
for testing but we make sure to set the node name then.
2. That the node.name defaults to some flavor of "localhost" on an
unconfigured box feels like it isn't going to come up too much in
production. I expect most production deployments to at least set the
hostname.
As a bonus, production deployments need no longer set the node name in
most cases. At least in my experience most folks set it to the hostname
anyway.
Clean up on top of the last fix: if we skip the entire test case then
the test run would fail because we skipped all the tests. This adds a
dummy test case to prevent that. It is a fairly nasty work around I plan
to work on something that makes this not required any more anyway.
If we're running on a platform where we can't install syscall filters
Elasticsearch logs a message before it reads the data directory to get
the node name. Because that log message doesn't have a node name this
test will fail. Since we mostly run the test on OSes where we *can*
install the syscall filters we can fairly safely skip the test on OSes
where we can't install the syscall filters.
Closes#33540
Change the logging infrastructure to handle when the node name isn't
available in `elasticsearch.yml`. In that case the node name is not
available until long after logging is configured. The biggest change is
that the node name logging no longer fixed at pattern build time.
Instead it is read from a `SetOnce` on every print. If it is unset it is
printed as `unknown` so we have something that fits in the pattern.
On normal startup we don't log anything until the node name is available
so we never see the `unknown`s.
