put jvm crash logs in logs/

[rmuir]

This would be a great improvement over what probably happens today. See issues like #13600 where the jvm crashes and people are unaware of the log file (most likely in many cases its going to /tmp which is unexpected).

It would be better if we set -XX:ErrorFile explicitly...

Closed by #14006

I don't think this issue was fixed? The linked PR was closed without merging. The problem, IIRC, is the location must be set when starting the jvm, but we have too many ways to set the log dir location, so determining that from the elasticsearch shell script is problematic.

@clintongormley I don't think #14006 was integrated, and I still think that this is something that we should do.
