Nick Lang 058d38f0ae Use use ssl_context or don't but don't mix (#714)
* Use original SSL process and add SSLContext

Not going to deprecate and replace with SSLContext.
But instead give option for using SSLContext next to the original way of
handling SSL.

Connection Layer API
====================
All of the classes responsible for handling the connection to the Elasticsearch
cluster. The default subclasses used can be overriden by passing parameters to the
:class:`~elasticsearch.Elasticsearch` class. All of the arguments to the client
will be passed on to :class:`~elasticsearch.Transport`,
:class:`~elasticsearch.ConnectionPool` and :class:`~elasticsearch.Connection`.
For example if you wanted to use your own implementation of the
:class:`~elasticsearch.ConnectionSelector` class you can just pass in the
``selector_class`` parameter.
.. note::
:class:`~elasticsearch.ConnectionPool` and related options (like
``selector_class``) will only be used if more than one connection is defined.
Either directly or via the :ref:`sniffing` mechanism.

Transport
---------
.. autoclass:: Transport(hosts, connection_class=Urllib3HttpConnection, connection_pool_class=ConnectionPool, nodes_to_host_callback=construct_hosts_list, sniff_on_start=False, sniffer_timeout=None, sniff_on_connection_fail=False, serializer=JSONSerializer(), max_retries=3, ** kwargs)

Connection Pool
---------------
.. autoclass:: ConnectionPool(connections, dead_timeout=60, selector_class=RoundRobinSelector, randomize_hosts=True, ** kwargs)

Connection Selector
-------------------
.. autoclass:: ConnectionSelector(opts)

------------------------------------------------
If you have complex SSL logic for connecting to Elasticsearch using an `SSLContext` object
might be more helpful. You can create one natively using the python SSL library with the
`create_default_context` (https://docs.python.org/3/library/ssl.html#ssl.create_default_context) method.
To create an `SSLContext` object you only need to use one of cafile, capath or cadata::
>>> from ssl import create_default_context
>>> context = create_default_context(cafile=None, capath=None, cadata=None)
* `cafile` is the path to your CA File
* `capath` is the directory of a collection of CA's
* `cadata` is either an ASCII string of one or more PEM-encoded certificates or a bytes-like object of DER-encoded certificates.
Please note that the use of SSLContext is only available for Urllib3.
