Netty uses the number of processors for sizing various resources (e.g.,
thread pools, buffer pools, etc.). However, it uses the runtime number
of available processors which might not match the configured number of
processors as set in Elasticsearch to limit the number of threads (for
example, in Docker containers). A new feature was added to Netty that
enables configuring the number of processors Netty should see for sizing
this various resources. This commit takes advantage of this feature to
set this number of available processors to be equal to the configured
number of processors set in Elasticsearch.

This commit upgrades the Netty dependencies from version 4.1.8 to
version 4.1.9. This commit picks up a few bug fixes that impacted us:
- Netty was incorrectly ignoring interfaces with self-assigned MAC
addresses (e.g., instances running in Docker containers or on EC2)
- incorrect handling of the Expect: 100-continue header

Previously, the RestController would stash the context prior to copying headers. However, there could be deprecation
log messages logged and in turn warning headers being added to the context prior to the stashing of the context. These
headers in the context would then be removed from the request and also leaked back into the calling thread's context.
This change moves the stashing of the context to the HttpTransport so that the network threads' context isn't
accidentally populated with warning headers and to ensure the headers added early on in the RestController are not
excluded from the response.
The dependencyLicenses check has the ability to map multiple jar files
to the same license file. However, netty was not taking advantage of
this, and had duplicate copies of its license/notice files for each jar.
This commit reduces the copies to one and uses the mapping feature.
We kept `netty_3` as a fallback in the 5.x series but now that master
is 6.0 we don't need this or in other words all issues coming up with
netty 4 will be blockers for 6.0.
This commit upgrades the transport-netty4 module dependency from Netty
version 4.1.5 to version 4.1.6. This is a bug fix release of Netty.

This commit upgrades the Netty dependencies from version 4.1.4 to
version 4.1.5. This upgrade brings several bug fixes including the
removal of a obnoxious and scary-looking log message when unsafe is
explicitly disabled.
