fixed wrong binaries directory for RPM package in doc
When installed with the RPM package, logstash binaries are actually installed in /usr/share/logstash and it seems to be consistent with other Elastic products (tested with elasticsearch 5.0). Futhermore, 'Logstash Directory Layout' page is only talking about /usr/share/logstash.
fixed settings file name
Documentation refers to both 'settings.yml' and 'logstash.yml' files for new settings file. I set 'logstash.yml' everywhere because it's the file name which is used in RPM, APT and zip/tar.gz archives.

This adds extra details to the Breaking Changes document so that users can hopefully better understand what is necessary to change in order to get around breaking changes.
I accidentally added logstash-input-elasticsearch in this list because
in my RC testing I had manually removed it using bin/logstash-plugin remove

sets default to INFO and updates some verbose logging to
more appropriate, less verbose log levels where it makes sense.

This PR does a few modifications for our webserver:
- Add a PortRange setting type.
- allow the --http.port option to accept a port range or a single port, when a range is provided Logstash will incrementally try this list to find a free port for the webserver.
- Logstash will report in the log which port it is using. (INFO LEVEL)
- It refactors a few methods of the webserver.
- It adds test for the binding of the ports.
Notes:
Port range can be defined in the logstash.yml or pass via the command line like this.
`bin/logstash -e 'input { generator {}} output { null {}}' --log.level verbose --http.port 2000-2005`
Fixes#5774
The new way Output Delegators work is that events flow from:
OutputDelegator -> OutputDelegatorStrategy -> Output
The output delegator handles all the common denominator tasks (like metrics) and
a few other things. The OutputDelegatorStrategy handles concurrency and Output instantiation.
This is a significant improvement and simplification over the past where we used mixins and dynamic method
redifinition.
This removes the concept of plugin 'unique_names' and replaces it with the 'id'.
Also consistently autogenerates plugin IDs based on a given config file using SHA1 hashing.
Fixes#5752
