Previously custom realms were limited in what services and components they had easy access to. It was possible to work around this because a security extension is packaged within a Plugin, so there were ways to store this components in static/SetOnce variables and access them from the realm, but those techniques were fragile, undocumented and difficult to discover. This change includes key services as an argument to most of the methods on SecurityExtension so that custom realm / role provider authors can have easy access to them. Backport of: elastic#50534
