Jay Modi 03ed2bbbd0 Add setting for the LDAP user search filter and deprecate user attribute (elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch#1959)
This commit adds a setting to allow changing the user search filter. Previously the filter was a
simple equality filter that mapped a given attribute to the value of the username. The default
behavior remains the same with this change but provides additional flexibility to users to who may
need more advanced LDAP searches. The user attribute setting has been deprecated due to the overlap
with the new filter setting.

Tim Brooks f2cbe20ea0 Remove default passwords from reserved users (elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch#1665)
This is related to elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch#1217. This PR removes the default password of
"changeme" from the reserved users.

This PR adds special behavior for authenticating the reserved users. No
ReservedRealm user can be authenticated until its password is set. The
one exception to this is the elastic user. The elastic user can be
authenticated with an empty password if the action is a rest request
originating from localhost. In this scenario where an elastic user is
authenticated with a default password, it will have metadata indicating
that it is in setup mode. An elastic user in setup mode is only
authorized to execute a change password request.
