Matthew Bargar 0503aa8a31 Make CSV upload limit configurable
Kibana's Upload CSV feature isn't intended for gigantic import jobs, so
I originally set a sane default of 1GB. Some users exprssed a desire to
import slightly larger files, they should be able to import something
that's 1.1GB without being blocked by an arbitrary limit. So I've made
the limit configurable via kibana.yml.

This change includes a few pieces:
* Added optional `kibana.addDataMaxBytes` key to kibana.yml with 1GB
  default
* Set upload data route payload limit based on new config value
* Updated help text in UI to use the dynamic config value on the parse
  csv page
* Updated parse csv page to check file size and fail early if the
  selected file is too big

.Kibana Configuration Settings
[horizontal]
`server.port:`:: *Default: 5601* Kibana is served by a back end server. This setting specifies the port to use.
`server.host:`:: *Default: "localhost"* This setting specifies the host of the back end server.
`server.basePath:`:: Enables you to specify a path to mount Kibana at if you are running behind a proxy. This setting
cannot end in a slash (`/`).
`server.maxPayloadBytes:`:: *Default: 1048576* The maximum payload size in bytes for incoming server requests.
`server.name:`:: *Default: "your-hostname"* A human-readable display name that identifies this Kibana instance.
`elasticsearch.url:`:: *Default: "http://localhost:9200"* The URL of the Elasticsearch instance to use for all your
queries.
`elasticsearch.preserveHost:`:: *Default: true* When this settings value is true Kibana uses the hostname specified in
the `server.host` setting. When the value of this setting is `false`, Kibana uses the hostname of the host that connects
to this Kibana instance.
`kibana.index:`:: *Default: ".kibana"* Kibana uses an index in Elasticsearch to store saved searches, visualizations and
dashboards. Kibana creates a new index if the index doesnt already exist.
`kibana.defaultAppId:`:: *Default: "discover"* The default application to load.
`kibana.addDataMaxBytes:`:: *Default: 1073741824* The maximum upload size in bytes for the CSV Upload wizard
[[tilemap-settings]]`tilemap.url:`:: *Default: `"https://tiles.elastic.co/v1/default/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?elastic_tile_service_tos=agree&my_app_name=kibana"`* The URL to the tile
service that Kibana uses to display map tiles in tilemap visualizations.
`tilemap.options.minZoom:`:: *Default: 1* The minimum zoom level.
`tilemap.options.maxZoom:`:: *Default: 10* The maximum zoom level.
`tilemap.options.attribution:`:: *Default: `"© [Elastic Tile Service](https://www.elastic.co/elastic-tile-service)"`* The map attribution string.
`tilemap.options.subdomains:`:: An array of subdomains used by the tile service.
Specify the position of the subdomain the URL with the token `{s}`.
`elasticsearch.username:` and `elasticsearch.password:`:: If your Elasticsearch is protected with basic authentication,
these settings provide the username and password that the Kibana server uses to perform maintenance on the Kibana index at
startup. Your Kibana users still need to authenticate with Elasticsearch, which is proxied through the Kibana server.
`server.ssl.cert:` and `server.ssl.key:`:: Paths to the PEM-format SSL certificate and SSL key files, respectively. These
files enable SSL for outgoing requests from the Kibana server to the browser.
`elasticsearch.ssl.cert:` and `elasticsearch.ssl.key:`:: Optional settings that provide the paths to the PEM-format SSL
certificate and key files. These files validate that your Elasticsearch backend uses the same key files.
`elasticsearch.ssl.ca:`:: Optional setting that enables you to specify a path to the PEM file for the certificate
authority for your Elasticsearch instance.
`elasticsearch.ssl.verify:`:: *Default: true* To disregard the validity of SSL certificates, change this settings value
to `false`.
`elasticsearch.pingTimeout:`:: *Default: the value of the `elasticsearch.requestTimeout` setting* Time in milliseconds to
wait for Elasticsearch to respond to pings.
`elasticsearch.requestTimeout:`:: *Default: 30000* Time in milliseconds to wait for responses from the back end or
Elasticsearch. This value must be a positive integer.
`elasticsearch.requestHeadersWhitelist:`:: *Default: `[ 'authorization' ]`* List of Kibana client-side headers to send to Elasticsearch.
To send *no* client-side headers, set this value to [] (an empty list).
`elasticsearch.customHeaders:`:: *Default: `{}`* Header names and values to send to Elasticsearch. Any custom headers
cannot be overwritten by client-side headers, regardless of the `elasticsearch.requestHeadersWhitelist` configuration.
`elasticsearch.shardTimeout:`:: *Default: 0* Time in milliseconds for Elasticsearch to wait for responses from shards. Set
to 0 to disable.
`elasticsearch.startupTimeout:`:: *Default: 5000* Time in milliseconds to wait for Elasticsearch at Kibana startup before
retrying.
`pid.file:`:: Specifies the path where Kibana creates the process ID file.
`logging.dest:`:: *Default: `stdout`* Enables you specify a file where Kibana stores log output.
`logging.silent:`:: *Default: false* Set the value of this setting to `true` to suppress all logging output.
`logging.quiet:`:: *Default: false* Set the value of this setting to `true` to suppress all logging output other than
error messages.
`logging.verbose`:: *Default: false* Set the value of this setting to `true` to log all events, including system usage
information and all requests.
`ops.interval`:: *Default: 5000* Set the interval in milliseconds to sample system and process performance metrics.
The minimum value is 100.
`status.allowAnonymous`:: *Default: false* If authentication is enabled, setting this to `true` allows
unauthenticated users to access the Kibana server status API and status page.
