Introduces support for JWTs to the grant API Key API.
Callers can now pass-in a JWT in the request, like:
POST /_security/api_key/grant
{
"grant_type": "access_token",
"access_token" : "some.signed.JWT",
"client_authentication": { // optional
"scheme": "SharedSecret",
"value": "ES-Client-Authentication header value after scheme"
}
}
The JWT will be authenticated by a backing JWT realm and
a new API Key will be returned for the authenticated user.
**Problem:**
For historical reasons, source files for the Elasticsearch Guide's security, watcher, and Logstash API docs are housed in the `x-pack/docs` directory. This can confuse new contributors who expect Elasticsearch Guide docs to be located in `docs/reference`.
**Solution:**
- Move the security, watcher, and Logstash API doc source files to the `docs/reference` directory
- Update doc snippet tests to use security
