After 7.16.2, we'll no longer produce Windows MSI installer packages for Elasticsearch. These packages were previously released in beta and didn't receive widespread adoption.
### Changes:
* Adds a related 7.17 breaking change.
* Adds a related 7.16 deprecation.
* Removes the MSI installation instructions.
* Removes references to the MSI installer.
I plan to port the applicable changes to 8.1 (main), 8.0, 7.17, and 7.16. In the 7.16 ports, I'll leave in the MSI install docs and add related deprecation notes to them instead.
* [DOCS] Update ES quick start for security ON by default
* Remove code.asciidoc, which is part of the overall doc build now
* Update node names for cleanup
* Add note with links to tools
* Add --net elastic network

Today we have a short note in one place in the docs saying not to touch
the contents of the data path. This commit expands the warning to
describe more precisely what is forbidden, and to give some more detail
of the consequences, and also duplicates the warning to the other
location that documents the `path.data` setting.
This PR changes uses of transient cluster settings to
persistent cluster settings.
The PR also deprecates the transient settings usage.
Relates to #49540
We deprecated support for multiple data paths (MDP) in 7.13. However,
we won't remove support until after 8.0.
Changes:
* Reverts PR #72267, which removed MDP docs
* Removes a related item from the 8.0 breaking changes.
This commit adds a deprecation note to the multiple data paths doc. It also removes mention of multiple paths support in the setup settings table.
