Diff file for additions to elasticsearch.in to set & export JAVA_HOME

When elasticsearch6 is started from the rc.subr system on a default
installation, it fails to initialize because the path for java
(JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/openjdk8) is not passed to it (adding the path to
/etc/profile does not work as rc does not import from profile).

JAVA_HOME can be added through an additional (but possibly less recognized)
rcvar  ${portname}_env="JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/openjdk8", but even fresh
installations would necessitate this call (there does not appear to be any
documentation to suggest this fix).

It might be instead better to declare JAVA_HOME in the rc script similar to
sysutils/logstash6 (which also depends on java/openjdk8 in a similar manner),
where an rcvar declares a default JAVA_HOME & exports the value.

See attached diff for files/elasticsearch6.in as an example.
