Reorganize configuring Elasticsearch docs This commit reorganizes some of the content in the configuring Elasticsearch section of the docs. The changes are: - move JVM options out of system configuration into configuring Elasticsearch - move JVM options to its own page of the docs - move configuring the heap to important Elasticsearch settings - move configuring the heap to its own page of the docs - move all important settings to individual pages in the docs - remove bootstrap.memory_lock from important settings, this is covered in the swap section of system configuration Relates #27755

Expand and consolidate networking docs (#68051) Today's network config docs are split into "Network", "HTTP" and "Transport" pages, with unclear relationships between them. We often encounter users with weird configs that indicate they don't really understand how these settings all relate. In fact these pages are all very interrelated, and the HTTP and Transport pages are almost all only for advanced users. This commit brings these docs into a single page and rewords some things to try and guide users away from the advanced settings unless their configuration needs all the extra complexity. It also adds a section entitled "Binding and publishing" which clarifies the meanings of the `bind_host` and `publish_host` parameters. This is also a common source of confusion amongst users. It also clarifies that many of these settings accept a list of addresses, and warns that this may not be what you want. Closes #67956. Co-authored-by: Adam Locke <adam.locke@elastic.co>

By default, {es} only binds to loopback addresses such as `127.0.0.1` and
`[::1]`. This is sufficient to run a cluster of one or more nodes on a single
server for development and testing, but a
<<high-availability-cluster-design,resilient production cluster>> must involve
nodes on other servers. There are many <<modules-network,network settings>> but
usually all you need to configure is `network.host`:

IMPORTANT: When you provide a value for `network.host`, {es} assumes that you
are moving from development mode to production mode, and upgrades a number of
system startup checks from warnings to exceptions. See the differences between
<<dev-vs-prod,development and production modes>>.
