Differences:
- Streaming implementation allows for much larger archives
- CLI for creating and using archives
- Configurable archive location
- Stores the data in gzipped files (better for source control, searching, large archives)
- Automatically identifies and upgrades Kibana config documents
Methods:
- `#load(name)`: import an archive
- `#loadIfNeeded(name)`: import an archive, but skip the documents what belong to any existing index
- `#unload(name)`: delete the indexes stored in an archive
CLI operations:
- `./bin/es_archiver save <name> [index patterns...]`: save the mapping and documents in one or more indexes that match the wild-card patterns into an the `<name>` archive
- `./bin/es_archiver load <name>`: load the mapping and documents from the `<name>` archive

* [esArchiver] general improvements after showing to a few folks
- remove auto-upgrading config doc logic (until we have better access to kibana version info)
- export unload command
- remove preemptive checks in favor of reacting to errors
- use type "doc" vs "hit" for doc records (consistency)
- wrote a bunch of pending tests to think though and plan
