This commit removes support for JAVA_HOME. As we previously deprecated usage of JAVA_HOME to override the path for the JDK, this commit follows up by removing support for JAVA_HOME. Note that we do not treat JAVA_HOME being set as a failure, as it is perfectly reasonable for a user to have JAVA_HOME configured at the system level.

Closes #55820

Use the bundled JDK (preferable), or set `ES_JAVA_HOME`. `JAVA_HOME` will
silently be ignored.
