When stopping via systemd only kill the JVM, not its control group (#25195)

This prevents possible race conditions between the Elasticsearch JVM and
plugin native controller processes that can cause the Elasticsearch shutdown
to hang.  The problem can happen when the JVM and the controller process
receive a SIGTERM at almost the same time.

(There's an assumption here that Elasticsearch will continue to use other
mechanisms to kill native controller processes.)
