This commit adds javadocs to the AuthorizationEngine interface aimed at
developers of an authorization engine. Additionally, some classes were
also moved to the core project so that they are ready to be exposed
once we allow authorization engines to be plugged in.

    Move request interceptors to AuthorizationService

    This change moves the RequestInterceptor iteration from the action
    filter to the AuthorizationService. This is done to remove the need
    for the use of a role within the request interceptors and replace it
    with the AuthorizationEngine. The AuthorizationEngine interface was
    also enhanced with a new method that is used to determine if a users
    permission on one index is a subset of their permissions on a list
    of indices or aliases.

    Additionally, this change addresses some leftover cleanups.

    Allow authorization engines as an extension (elastic#37785)

    Authorization engines can now be registered by implementing a plugin,
    which also has a service implementation of a security extension. Only
    one extension may register an authorization engine and this engine will
    be used for all users except reserved realm users and internal users.

    Encapsulate request, auth, and action name (elastic#37495)

    This change introduces a new class called RequestInfo that encapsulates
    the common objects that are passed to the authorization engine methods.
    By doing so, we give ourselves a way of adding additional data without
    breaking the interface. Additionally, this also reduces the need to
    ensure we pass these three parameters in the same order everywhere for
    consistency.

    Replace AuthorizedIndices class with a List (elastic#37328)

    This change replaces the AuthorizedIndices class with a simple list.
    The change to a simple list does remove the lazy loading of the
    authorized indices in favor of simpler code as the loading of this
    list is now an asynchronous operation that is delegated to the
    authorization engine.

    Introduce asynchronous RBACEngine (elastic#36245)

    In order to support the concept of different authorization engines, this
    change begins the refactoring of the AuthorizationService to support
    this. Previously, the asynchronous work for authorization was performed
    by the AsyncAuthorizer class, but this tied the authorization service
    to a role based implementation. In this change, the authorize method
    become asynchronous and delegates much of the actual permission checking
    to an AuthorizationEngine. The pre-existing RBAC permission checking
    has been abstracted into the RBACEngine. The majority of calls to
    AuthorizationEngine instances are asynchronous as the underlying
    implementation may need to make network calls that should not block
    the current thread, which are often network threads.

    This change is meant to be built upon. The basic concepts are introduced
    without proper documentation, plumbing to enable other
    AuthorizationEngine types, and some items we may want to refactor.
    For example, the AuthorizedIndices class is lazily loaded but this might
    actually be something we want to make asynchronous. We pass a lot of the
    same arguments to the various methods and it would be prudent to wrap
    these in a class; this class would provide a way for us to pass
    additional items needed by future enhancements without breaking the
    interface and requiring updates to all implementations.

    Authorization engines evaluate privileges for APIs (elastic#38219)

    This commit moves the evaluation of privileges from a few transport
    actions into the authorization engine. The APIs are used by other
    applications for making decisions and if a different authorization
    engine is used that is not role based, we should still allow these APIs
    to work. By moving this evaluation out of the transport action, the
    transport actions no longer have a dependency on roles.
