Clean backport of #13684 to branch 8.0


Original comment

During the time Logstash switched from a set of Ruby files plus one fat jar to multiple jars, with configuration files
and shell scripts that also needs to be updated. It's not anymore sufficient to suggest to unpack a new distribution
over an existing one. This is problematic when we add jars from version to version because drive to the pollution
of the classpath.

This commit redefines to steps to do this, in a safer way, backing up data and config folders.
