Aditya Manthramurthy a2a8d54bb6 Add access format support for Elasticsearch notification target (#4006)
This change adds `access` format support for notifications to a
Elasticsearch server, and it refactors `namespace` format support.

In the case of `access` format, for each event in Minio, a JSON
document is inserted into Elasticsearch with its timestamp set to the
event's timestamp, and with the ID generated automatically by
elasticsearch. No events are modified or deleted in this mode.

In the case of `namespace` format, for each event in Minio, a JSON
document is keyed together by the bucket and object name is updated in
Elasticsearch. In the case of an object being created or over-written
in Minio, a new document or an existing document is inserted into the
Elasticsearch index. If an object is deleted in Minio, the
corresponding document is deleted from the Elasticsearch index.

Additionally, this change upgrades Elasticsearch support to the 5.x
series. This is a breaking change, and users of previous elasticsearch
versions should upgrade.

Also updates documentation on Elasticsearch notification target usage
and has a link to an elasticsearch upgrade guide.

This is the last patch that finally resolves #3928.

# How to contribute
Elastic is an open-source project and we are looking forward to each
contribution.
Notice that while the [official Elasticsearch documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index.html) is rather good, it is a high-level
overview of the features of Elasticsearch. However, Elastic tries to resemble
the Java API of Elasticsearch which you can find [on GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch).
This explains why you might think that some options are strange or missing
in Elastic, while often they're just different. Please check the Java API first.
Having said that: Elasticsearch is moving fast and it might be very likely
that we missed some features or changes. Feel free to change that.
## Your Pull Request
To make it easy to review and understand your changes, please keep the
following things in mind before submitting your pull request:
* You compared the existing implemenation with the Java API, did you?
* Please work on the latest possible state of `olivere/elastic`.
Use `release-branch.v2` for targeting Elasticsearch 1.x and
`release-branch.v3` for targeting 2.x.
* Create a branch dedicated to your change.
* If possible, write a test case which confirms your change.
* Make sure your changes and your tests work with all recent versions of
Elasticsearch. We currently support Elasticsearch 1.7.x in the
release-branch.v2 and Elasticsearch 2.x in the release-branch.v3.
* Test your changes before creating a pull request (`go test ./...`).
* Don't mix several features or bug fixes in one pull request.
* Create a meaningful commit message.
* Explain your change, e.g. provide a link to the issue you are fixing and
probably a link to the Elasticsearch documentation and/or source code.
* Format your source with `go fmt`.
