Title: Allowing pluggable highlighter implementations.

Currently elasticsearch ships with the plain and the fast-vector highlighter.
In order to support arbitrary highlighters via plugins, you only need to
implement a Highlighter interface and register your implementation in your
plugin at the HighlightModule.

In addition you can also add arbitrary options via the 'options' field in
the highlight request, which can be parsed in the highlighter implementation.

In order to find out how to write add your own analyzer, check out the tests
classes (CustomHighlighterSearchTests and CustomHighlighter).

Closes #2828
