This adds a new `role_templates` field to role mappings that is an
alternative to the existing roles field.
These templates are evaluated at runtime to determine which roles should be
granted to a user.
For example, it is possible to specify:
"role_templates": [
{ "template":{ "source": "_user_{{username}}" } }
]
which would mean that every user is assigned to their own role based on
their username.
You may not specify both roles and role_templates in the same role
mapping.
This commit adds support for templates to the role mapping API, the role
mapping engine, the Java high level rest client, and Elasticsearch
documentation.
Due to the lack of caching in our role mapping store, it is currently
inefficient to use a large number of templated role mappings. This will be
addressed in a future change.
