Introduce system JVM options (elastic#48252)

This commit moves JVM options that we are setting on behalf of the user
that we do not expect them to fiddle with out of the jvm.options
configuration file and into the JVM options parser. In this way, we
discourage fiddling with these settings, but more importantly, we ensure
that as we evolve or add to these settings that a user would pick these
pick instead of being left behind if they have a modified jvm.options
file and do not pick any new that come with the distribution.
