We do not support and don't plan to support disaster recovery arrangements
where Security configuration is replicated between the production and the
disaster recovery cluster because the cluster-local Security APIs assume
exclusive write on the .security system index.
* [DOCS] Add note that write indices are not replicated
* Clarify note about is_write_index
* Clarify leader aliases with is_write_index

Removes `testenv` annotations and related code. These annotations originally let you skip x-pack snippet tests in the docs. However, that's no longer possible.
Relates to #79309, #31619
The reference manual includes docs on version compatibility in various
places, but it's not clear that these docs only apply to released
versions and that the rules for pre-release versions are stricter than
folks expect. This commit adds some words to the docs for unreleased
versions which explains this subtlety.

Today we imply that CCR will automatically fall back to a full index
copy if it cannot replay any missing history. This was true for earlier
versions of the design but we ultimately decided not to do this without
adjusting the docs to match. This commit fixes the docs.
* First crack at rewriting the CCR introduction.
* Emphasizing Kibana in configuring CCR (part one).
* Many more edits, plus new files.
* Fixing test case.
* Removing overview page and consolidating that information in the main page.
* Adding redirects for moved and deleted pages.
* Removing, consolidating, and adding redirects.
* Fixing duplicate ID in redirects and removing outdated reference.
* Adding test case and steps for recreating a follower index.
* Adding steps for managing CCR tasks in Kibana.
* Adding tasks for managing auto-follow patterns.
* Fixing glossary link.
* Fixing glossary link, again.
* Updating the upgrade information and other stuff.
* Apply suggestions from code review
* Incorporating review feedback.
* Adding more edits.
* Fixing link reference.
* Adding use cases for #59812.
* Incorporating feedback from reviewers.
* Apply suggestions from code review
* Incorporating more review comments.
* Condensing some of the steps for accessing Kibana.
* Incorporating small changes from reviewers.

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.
This is related to #35975. It adds documentation on the remote recovery
process. Additionally, it adds documentation about the various settings
that can impact the process.
This commit is our first introduction to cross-cluster replication
docs. In this commit, we introduce the cross-cluster replication API
docs. We also add skelton docs for additional content that will be added
in a series of follow-up commits.
