[Docs] Zen Discovery references deprecated ping_timeout setting

[pickypg]

http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-discovery-zen.html#master-election

As part of the ping process a master of the cluster is either elected or joined to. This is done automatically. The discovery.zen.ping_timeout (which defaults to 3s)

This is still true, but the setting should be discovery.zen.ping.timeout.

i see in code "ZenDiscovery.java" that both properties are used and "discovery.zen.ping.timeout" over-rides " discovery.zen.ping_timeout"
below is the code snippet:
TimeValue pingTimeout = this.settings.getAsTime("discovery.zen.initial_ping_timeout", timeValueSeconds(3));
pingTimeout = this.settings.getAsTime("discovery.zen.ping_timeout", pingTimeout);
pingTimeout = settings.getAsTime("discovery.zen.ping_timeout", pingTimeout);
this.pingTimeout = settings.getAsTime(SETTING_PING_TIMEOUT, pingTimeout);

Hi @vedil, I definitely agree that that's in the code, but the SETTING_PING_TIMEOUT is the last one, which means that it gets the final say-so.
