Add docs for bundled jdk (#40487)
This commit changes the note in docs about required java version to note
the existence of the bundled jdk and how to bring your own java. It also
reorganizes the zip/targz docs as zip is no longer suitable on
Linux/MacOS.

=== JVM fatal error logs
By default, Elasticsearch configures the JVM to write fatal error logs
to the default logging directory (this is `/var/log/elasticsearch` for
the <<rpm,RPM>> and <<deb,Debian>> package distributions, and the `logs`
directory under the root of the Elasticsearch installation for the
<<targz,tar>> and <<zip-windows,zip>> archive distributions). These are logs
produced by the JVM when it encounters a fatal error (e.g., a
segmentation fault). If this path is not suitable for receiving logs,
you should modify the entry `-XX:ErrorFile=...` in
<<jvm-options,`jvm.options`>> to an alternate path.
