Elasticsearch has a number of different BytesReference implementations. These implementations can all implement the interface in different ways with subtly different behavior and performance characteristics. On the other-hand, the JVM only represents bytes as an array or a direct byte buffer. This commit deletes the specialized Netty implementations and moves to using a generic ByteBuffer reference type. This will allow us to focus on standardizing performance and behave around a smaller number of implementations that can be used by all components in Elasticsearch.
