Initialize Paths before loading the keystore (elastic#10706)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
* Initialize Paths before loading the keystore

The paths were incorrectly initialized meaning that instead of creating
the keystore in the data directory it was created next to the binary.

The problem was the call to `paths.InitPaths()` was done after loading
the keystore, this was causing a chicken and egg situation and
`paths.Resolve(path.Data, "hello")` was returning "hello" instead of
`data/hello`.

To solve that situation we do a partial extract of the configuration,
just enough to initialize the paths and we move on to the keystore and
the complete unpack.
