The `shards_availability` indicator diagnoses the condition where
indices need to be restored from snapshot.
Starting with 8.0 using feature_states when restoring from snapshot is
mandatory.
This adds support for the `FEATURE_STATE` affected resource to aid with
building up the snapshot restore API call (which will need to include
all the indices and feature states reported by the restore-from-snapshot
diagnosis).
Note that the health API will not report any indices that are part of a
feature state.
This troubleshooting guide is what will be returned from the SLM health indicator
when a SLM policy has suffered from too many repeat failures without a successful
execution.
This adds troubleshooting documentation for the case when the ShardsAvailabilityHealthIndicatorService
reports that there are not enough nodes in the data tier (user action "increase_node_capacity_for_allocations" or
"increase_tier_capacity_for_allocations_". This covers both the cloud and self-managed environments. For
cloud we first recommend increasing the number of availability zones (because you cannot directly add nodes), and
decreasing index.number_of_replicas if that is not possible. For self-managed, we first recommend adding nodes,
and decreasing index.number_of_replicas if that is not possible.
This adds a troubleshooting doc for indices that mix index filtering allocation
with data tiers routing.

Changes:
* Updates the Cloud setup instructions to note that you open Kibana by default.
* Reorders the API call section to highlight Kibana.
* Fixes the Docker `ifeval` to hide some text on unreleased branches.
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

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
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.
Changes:
* Renames 'full copy searchable snapshot' to 'fully mounted index.'
* Renames 'shared cache searchable snapshot' to 'partially mounted index.'
* Removes some unneeded cache setup instructions for the frozen tier. We added a default cache size with #71844.
* Remove frozen tier restriction for ESS
* Remove section from 'Use ES for time series data'

Removes the experimental status for the frozen tier / shared_cache searchable snapshots for the 7.13 release.
Also adapts docs that URL repositories are now supported in 7.13 for searchable snapshots.
Changes:
* Refactors the "Getting Started" content down to one page.
* Refactors the README to reduce duplicated content and better mirror
Kibana's.
* Focuses the quick start on time series data, including data streams
and runtime fields.
* Streamlines self-managed install instructions to Docker.
