Today, Elasticsearch supports two models to establish secure connections
and trust between two Elasticsearch clusters:

This PR deprecates the Certificate based security model in favour of API key based security model.
The API key based security model is prefered way to configure remote clusters,
as it allows to follow security best practices when setting up remote cluster connections
and defining fine-grained access control.

Users are encouraged to migrate remote clusters from certificate to API key authentication.
