Jason Tedor 51b5dbffb7 Disable bootstrap checks for single-node discovery
While there are use-cases where a single-node is in production, there
are also use-cases for starting a single-node that binds transport to an
external interface where the node is not in production (for example, for
testing the transport client against a node started in a Docker
container). It's tricky to balance the desire to always enforce the
bootstrap checks when a node might be in production with the need for
the community to perform testing in situations that would trip the
bootstrap checks. This commit enables some flexibility for these
users. By setting the discovery type to "single-node", we disable the
bootstrap checks independently of how transport is bound. While this
sounds like a hole in the bootstrap checks, the bootstrap checks can
already be avoided in the single-node use-case by binding only HTTP but
not transport. For users that are genuinely in production on a
single-node use-case with transport bound to an external use-case, they
can set the system property "es.enable.bootstrap.checks" to force
running the bootstrap checks. It would be a mistake for them not to do
this.
