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

running, including:

* Installing
* Starting
* Configuring
[[supported-platforms]]
[float]
== Supported platforms
The matrix of officially supported operating systems and JVMs is available here:
link:/support/matrix[Support Matrix]. Elasticsearch is tested on the listed
platforms, but it is possible that it will work on other platforms too.
[float]
[[jvm-version]]
== Java (JVM) Version
Elasticsearch is built using Java, and requires at least
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html[Java 8] in
order to run. Only Oracle's Java and the OpenJDK are supported. The same JVM
version should be used on all Elasticsearch nodes and clients.
We recommend installing Java version *{jdk} or later*. Elasticsearch will
refuse to start if a known-bad version of Java is used.
The version of Java that Elasticsearch will use can be configured by setting
the `JAVA_HOME` environment variable.
