This commit adds the necessary changes to make SSL work on the transport layer by default. A large
portion of the SSL configuration/settings was re-worked with this change. Some notable highlights
include support for PEM cert/keys, reloadable SSL configuration, separate HTTP ssl configuration, and
separate LDAP configuration.
The following is a list of specific items addressed:
* `SSLSettings` renamed to `SSLConfiguration`
* `KeyConfig` and `TrustConfig` abstractions created. These hide the details of how `KeyManager[]` and `TrustManager[]` are loaded. These are also responsible for settings validation (ie keystore password is not null)
* Configuration fallback is changed. Previously any setting would fallback to the "global" value (`xpack.security.ssl.*`). Now a keystore path, key path, ca paths, or truststore path must be specified otherwise the configuration for that key/trust will fallback to the global configuration. In other words if you want to change part of a keystore or truststore in a profile you need to supply all the information. This could be considered breaking if a user relied on the old fallback
* JDK trusted certificates (`cacerts`) are trusted by default (breaking change). This can be disabled via a setting.
* We now monitor the SSL files for changes and enable dynamic reloading of the configuration. This will make it easier for users when they are getting set up with certificates so they do not need to restart every time. This can be disabled via a setting
* LDAP realms can now have their own SSL configurations
* HTTP can now have its own SSL configuration
* SSL is enabled by default on the transport layer only. Hostname verification is enabled as well. On startup if no global SSL settings are present and SSL is configured to be used, we auto generate one based on the default CA that is shipped. This process includes a best effort attempt to generate the subject alternative names.
* `xpack.security.ssl.hostname_verification` is deprecated in favor of `xpack.security.ssl.hostname_verification.enabled`
* added Bouncy Castle info to NOTICE
* consolidated NOTICE and LICENSE files

Original commit: elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch@7c359db90b
This commit adds reserved or built-in user and role support to x-pack. The reserved roles
cannot be modified by users. The reserved users also cannot be modified with the exception
of changing the password for a user.
In order to change the password for a user, a new API has been added. This API only supports
changing passwords for native and reserved users.
To support allowing a user to change their own password, a default role has been added to grant
access. This default role only grants access to user operations that pertain to the user that is
being authorized. In other words, the default role grants `joe` the ability to change their own password
but does not allow them to change the password of a different user.
Additionally, the authenticate API was made a transport action and is granted by the default role.

Original commit: elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch@1a6689d90f
This commit is the forward port of renaming the type for esusers to file. There is no
backwards compatibility maintained here. Additionally, a few other renames and
cleanups have been made:
* `esusers` commands is now `users`
* org.elasticsearch.shield.authc.esusers -> org.elasticsearch.shield.authc.file
* Validation.ESUsers -> Validation.Users
* ESUsersTool -> UsersTool
* ESUsersToolTests -> UsersToolTests
* ESNativeUsersStore -> NativeUsersStore
* ESNativeRolesStore -> NativeRolesStore.
* org.elasticsearch.shield.authz.esnative collapsed to org.elasticsearch.shield.authz.store
* ESNativeTests -> NativeRealmIntegTests
