David Pilato 30aa231f8e [plugin] split cloud-aws in repository-s3 and discovery-ec2
Until now we had a cloud-aws plugin which is providing 2 disctinct features:

* discovery on EC2
* snapshot/restore on S3

This commit splits the plugin by feature so people can use either one or the other or both features.

Doc is updated accordingly.

== Discovery Plugins
Discovery plugins extend Elasticsearch by adding new discovery mechanisms that
can be used instead of {ref}/modules-discovery-zen.html[Zen Discovery].
[float]
==== Core discovery plugins
The core discovery plugins are:
<<discovery-ec2,EC2 discovery>>::
The EC2 discovery plugin uses the https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-java[AWS API] for unicast discovery.
<<cloud-azure,Azure Cloud>>::
The Azure Cloud plugin uses the Azure API for unicast discovery, and adds
support for using Azure as a repository for
{ref}/modules-snapshots.html[Snapshot/Restore].
<<cloud-gce,GCE Cloud>>::
The Google Compute Engine Cloud plugin uses the GCE API for unicast discovery.
<<discovery-multicast,Multicast>>::
The multicast plugin sends multicast messages to discover other nodes in the cluster.
