Jason Tedor dfd241e0a6 Remove default path settings
This commit removes the default path settings for data and logs. With
this change, we now ship the packages with these settings set in the
elasticsearch.yml configuration file rather than going through the
default.path.data and default.path.logs dance that we went through in
the past.

`JAVA_HOME`::
Set a custom Java path to be used.
`MAX_OPEN_FILES`::
Maximum number of open files, defaults to `65536`.
`MAX_LOCKED_MEMORY`::
Maximum locked memory size. Set to `unlimited` if you use the
`bootstrap.memory_lock` option in elasticsearch.yml.
`MAX_MAP_COUNT`::
Maximum number of memory map areas a process may have. If you use `mmapfs`
as index store type, make sure this is set to a high value. For more
information, check the
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt[linux kernel documentation]
about `max_map_count`. This is set via `sysctl` before starting
elasticsearch. Defaults to `262144`.
`CONF_DIR`::
Configuration file directory (which needs to include `elasticsearch.yml`
and `log4j2.properties` files), defaults to `/etc/elasticsearch`.
`ES_JAVA_OPTS`::
Any additional JVM system properties you may want to apply.
`RESTART_ON_UPGRADE`::
Configure restart on package upgrade, defaults to `false`. This means you
will have to restart your elasticsearch instance after installing a
package manually. The reason for this is to ensure, that upgrades in a
cluster do not result in a continuous shard reallocation resulting in high
network traffic and reducing the response times of your cluster.
