This change adds a "grant API key action"
POST /_security/api_key/grant
that creates a new API key using the privileges of one user ("the
system user") to execute the action, but creates the API key with
the roles of the second user ("the end user").
This allows a system (such as Kibana) to create API keys representing
the identity and access of an authenticated user without requiring
that user to have permission to create API keys on their own.
This also creates a new QA project for security on trial licenses and runs
the API key tests there
