This PR implements the `uiSettings.overrides` setting which [when stored in kibana.yml or passed as config args when starting Kibana] allows forcing some uiSettings to always have a specific value. This setting accepts a map of uiSetting keys to values that will always be used to override whatever is stored in the config saved object.

When users view the settings in the advanced settings UI they are disabled and describe why they can't be changed.

Attempting to change these values from the uiSettings client/service/api is also prevented, causing a 400 error to be thrown and/or sent as the response.
We currently use the `retry` service to call a function over and over in a loop, waiting for it to run without throwing an error, and ultimately failing if it does not succeed before a timeout is exceeded. This is the easiest way to get certain interactions to work, either because we don't know when we should be able to execute the interaction successfully, or because the timing is just too tricky to plan out correctly. Another place where we are using the `retry` service, which I don't think is appropriate, is when we need to wait for a certain condition to be met. This is where `retry.waitFor()` comes in:
```js
await retry.waitFor('dashboard search to be enabled', async () => {
const searchInput = await testSubjects.find('savedObjectFinderSearchInput');
return await searchInput.isEnabled();
})
```
The `retry.waitFor()` method behaves much like the `retry.try()` method behind the scenes, calling a function over and over, but instead of waiting for it to run without throwing an error it waits for it to return a "truthy" value. It also requires a description string that is used to make rather nice log output and a more descriptive error message than something like https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/test/functional/apps/dashboard/_data_shared_attributes.js#L61-L67
* [kbn-test] convert kibana-install-dir flag to installDir option
* [kbn-test] replicate kibana-install-dir handling to startServers
* [ftr] try running functional tests in production in CI
* Revert "[ftr] try running functional tests in production in CI"
This reverts commit e5b94aa024.
* [core/public/legacyPlatform] exclude ui/test_harness from the distributable
* [optimizer] fix `process.env.IS_KIBANA_DISTRIBUTABLE` definition
* [optimizer] only define `process.env.IS_KIBANA_DISTRIBUTABLE` when needed
Adding a `webpack.DefinePlugin` slows down the optimizer a small amount,
so only apply it when it is necessary, and skip it if it is going to
be defined as "false".
* [kbn-test/startServer] don't run in --dev mode if running from dist
* [ftr/kibanaServer/version] attach `-SNAPSHOT` suffix to version if running build_snapshot
In order to make the license that applies to each file as clear as possible, and to be consistent with elasticsearch, we are adding Apache 2.0 license headers to the top of each file.
Existence of this header is enforced by eslint and tslint and missing headers were automatically added in the last commit by running:
```
node scripts/eslint --fix && node scripts/tslint --fix
```
* [es][savedObjects/index] put template on each savedObject write
The elasticsearch plugin currently checks for the Kibana index on each iteration of the healthCheck, and creates it if it does not exist. This removes that step from the healthCheck and instead, before each savedObject is written to elasticsearch, ensures that Elasticsearch has the necessary index template should the write result in index creation.
The healthCheck still has the `patchKibanaIndex()` logic, which checks the type in the Kibana index and adds any missing types. This step now does nothing when the Kibana index does not exist, and does what it has always done when it does.
* [ftr] remove unused kibanaIndex service

* [shortUrl/tests] ensure that create request responds with 200
* [shortUrl] use errorTypeHelpers to filter errors
* [uiSettings/savedObjectsClientStub] stub errorTypeHelpers
* [SavedObjectsClient/errors] expose error module so tests can make errors
* [shortUrl/tests] use actual SavedObjectsClient errors
* [uiSettings/savedObjectsClientStub] use actual errors lib
* [SavedObjectsClient] use decorate instead of "wrap"

Two issues - one the archiver was loading the visualize mapping after
the config setting so it was bring overwritten, and two,
uiSettings.replace wasn’t working correctly to begin with.
* extra line to ensure server is stabilized to prevent transitory failures
