Today we say that voting-only nodes require a "low-latency" network.
This term has a specific meaning in some operating environments which is
different from our intended meaning. To avoid this confusion this commit
removes the absolute term "low-latency" in favour of describing the
requirements relative to the user's own performance goals.
Makes several changes to consolidate snapshot and backup-related docs.
Highlights:
* Adds info about supported ESS snapshot repository types
* Adds docs for Kibana's Snapshot and Restore feature
* Combines tutorial pages related to taking and managing snapshots
* Consolidates explanations of the snapshot process
* Incorporates SLM into the snapshot tutorial
* Removes duplicate "back up a cluster" pages
Changed "This lets you to independently scale resources for each task." to "This allows you to independently scale resources for each task."

Today the multi-zone-cluster design docs say to keep all the nodes in a
single datacenter. This doesn't really reflect what we do in practice:
each zone in AWS/GCP/Azure/etc is a separate datacenter with decent
connectivity to the other zones in the same region. This commit adjusts
the docs to allow for this.

Today we recommend every index to have at least one replica in our
guidelines for designing a resilient cluster. This advice does not apply
to searchable snapshot indices. This commit adjusts the resiliency docs
to account for this. It also slightly adjusts the wording in the
searchable snapshots docs to be more consistent about the distinction
between a "searchable snapshot" and a "searchable snapshot index".
Adds some guidance for designing clusters to be resilient to
failures, including example architectures.

Previously, cross-cluster replication (CCR) documentation was located in
the Stack Overview:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/master/xpack-ccr.html
This adds CCR documentation to the Elasticsearch Reference Guide with a
level offset for headings.
The level offset and CCR Stack Overview docs will be removed in later
commits.
