Support for FIPS compliance mode

[beanuwave]

Description

This PR makes FIPS mode available through the OPENSEARCH_CRYPTO_STANDARD=FIPS-140-3 environmental parameter instead of the tests.fips.enabled setting. It provides FIPS 140-3 support by replacing all BC dependencies with BCFIPS dependencies and making FIPS approved-only mode configurable at launch. Running this mode restricts the BCFIPS provider to rely solely on FIPS-certified ciphers.

• The fips.gradle build script is removed in order to support a single-build solution.
• All BC dependencies are replaced by BCFIPS.
• Fixed creation of password protected internal keystore for valuable settings at node start. The add-string command was made with additional --stdin option, which interferes with password input.
• The Password Matcher inside Identity-Shiro that relies on BC to check if hashed passwords match with OpenBSDBCrypt is replaced by the password4j implementation.
• Adds full support for the BCFKS format (*.bcfks) for key and trust stores, also making it the default.
• KeyStore instantiation was added to forbidden-apis in favour of KeyStoreFactory.
• Google's truststore is converted to the BCFKS format.
• Makes the best guess of which store type is provided based on the filename extension.
• Store types are strictly limited to JKS, PKCS12, PKCS11, and BCFKS.
• Refactors PemUtils to parse private keys in formats EC, PKCS8, PKCS1, and DSA, with or without encryption, and with or without parameters.
• dependency ':libs:opensearch-common' was added to rest-client build, to support strict keystore types. It's also the reason for JVM bump JAVA8 to JAVA11.
• allow ingest-attachment plugin to run in FIPS mode, since BC dependencies find no use.
• The java.security file is added to the build to distinguish between FIPS and non-FIPS environments.
• The fips_java.security file is altered due to evolving security standards.
• The security.policy file is altered to grant necessary security permissions.
• Increased security standards in KeyTabs and algorithms for Kerberos.
• SecureRandom gets instantiated in to different way, depending on if it runs with FIPS or not.
• Uninstalls SunJCE provider from security providers list at runtime when FIPS mode is enabled.

Runtime limitations (known so far) that come with enabling FIPS mode:

Admins can continue to manage their systems without being impacted by this change. However, for those keen on FIPS compliance, the most common obstacle will likely be the requirement to set a stronger password for the internal keystore and also convert key and truststores to *.bcfks format.

• Does not allow empty passwords for keystores or private keys (they need to be at least 112 bits in strength).
• The ssl.verification_mode=NONE setting is not permitted.
• JKS and PKCS12 key and trust store types are not supported at all.
• The internal keystore cannot be auto-migrated from versions 1 or 2.
• Azure Classic Discovery plugin -> deprecated.
• SQL-CLI client.
• HDFS plugin won't connect since it's using RC4 cipher for token authentication.

Reasons for refactoring PemUtils, which is used by the Reindex API in cases of migrating data from a remote cluster that is TLS protected:

• Lack of support for evolving standards like PKCS#8.
• Password-Based Key Derivation Functions such as PBKDF-OPENSSL are not supported in FIPS mode in favor of the PBKDF2 standard.
• Java type safety.
• It is generally a good idea to let ASN1 annotation parsing be done by external security libraries.

Hi @beanuwave ,
We found that, this has been waiting for quite a while, is there any update on moving with this PR?
We are also looking for same FIPS compliance for OpenSearch.
And if there are any challenges, can you please share those.
