Jason Tedor 32df032c59 Add option to skip kernel parameters on install
During package install on systemd-based systems, we try to set
vm.max_map_count. On some systems (e.g., containers), users do not have
the ability to tune these parameters from within the container. This
commit provides an option for these users to skip setting such kernel
parameters.

NOTE: On systemd-based distributions, the installation scripts will attempt to set kernel parameters (e.g.,
`vm.max_map_count`); you can skip this by setting the environment variable `ES_SKIP_SET_KERNEL_PARAMETERS` to `true`.
