Increase vm.max_map_count on elasticsearch nodes

When using newer Elasticsearch versions you will receive the following error
when trying to start: elasticsearch | max virtual memory areas
vm.max_map_count [65530] likely too low, increase to at least [262144]

This could be solved by increasing the vm.max_map_count value via sysctl.
