Decouple shard allocation awareness from search and get requests (#45735)
With this commit, Elasticsearch will no longer prefer using shards in the same location
(with the same awareness attribute values) to process `_search` and `_get` requests.
Instead, adaptive replica selection (the default since 7.0) should route requests more efficiently
using the service time of prior inter-node communications. Clusters with big latencies between
nodes should switch to cross cluster replication to isolate nodes within the same zone.
Note that this change only targets 8.0 since it is considered as breaking. However a follow up
pr should add an option to activate this behavior in 7.x in order to allow users to opt-in early.

Closes #43453
