[DOCS] Remove [testenv="gold+"] attributes (#79309)
Changes:

* Removes several `[testenv="gold+"]` attributes from the docs. `gold+` is not a valid [subscription level](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions) or testenv value.
* Moves two `[testenv="basic"]` attributes to the file header. This makes the `testenv` placement consistent and fixes the yml file generated from `docs/reference/snapshot-restore/register-repository.asciidoc`.

[[service-tokens-command]]
== elasticsearch-service-tokens
Use the `elasticsearch-service-tokens` command to create, list, and delete file-based service account tokens.
[discrete]
=== Synopsis
[source,shell]
----
bin/elasticsearch-service-tokens
([create <service_account_principal> <token_name>]) |
([list] [<service_account_principal>]) |
([delete <service_account_principal> <token_name>])
----
[discrete]
=== Description
This command creates a `service_tokens` file in the `$ES_HOME/config` directory
when you create the first service account token. This file does not exist by
default. {es} monitors this file for changes and dynamically reloads it.
See <<service-accounts,service accounts>> for more information.
IMPORTANT: To ensure that {es} can read the service account token information at
startup, run `elasticsearch-service-tokens` as the same user you use to run
{es}. Running this command as `root` or some other user updates the permissions
for the `service_tokens` file and prevents {es} from accessing it.
