David Pilato f230eabc15 [cloud-azure] Split azure plugin in 3 plugins
Until now we had a cloud-azure plugin which is providing 3 distinct features:

* discovery on Azure
* snapshot/restore on Aure
* SMB store

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.
<<discovery-azure,Azure discovery>>::
The Azure discovery plugin uses the Azure API for unicast discovery.
<<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.

==== Community contributed discovery plugins
A number of discovery plugins have been contributed by our community:
* https://github.com/grantr/elasticsearch-srv-discovery[DNS SRV Discovery Plugin] (by Grant Rodgers)
* https://github.com/shikhar/eskka[eskka Discovery Plugin] (by Shikhar Bhushan)
