Data tiers: migrate the coldest node attribute (#81940)
This fixes the migrate to data tiers routing API to take into account
the scenario where the node attribute configuration for an index is more
accurate than the existing `_tier_preference` configuration.

Previously we would simply remove the node attributes routing if there
was a `_tier_preference` configured for the index.

With this commit, we'll look if either the `require.data` or
`include.data` custom routings are colder than the existing `_tier_preference`
configuration (ie. `cold` vs `data_warm,data_hot`) and update the tier
routing accordingly.

eg.
{
  index.routing.allocation.require.data: "warm",
  index.routing.allocation.include.data: "cold",
  index.routing.allocation.include._tier_preference: "data_hot"
}
will be migrated to:
{
  index.routing.allocation.include._tier_preference: "data_cold,data_warm,data_hot"
}

This also removes the existing invariant that had the `require.data`
configuration take precedence over a possible `include.data`
configuration, and will now migrate the coldest configuration to the
corresponding `_tier_preference`.

eg.
{
  index.routing.allocation.require.data: "warm",
  index.routing.allocation.include.data: "cold"
}
will be migrated to:
{
  index.routing.allocation.include._tier_preference: "data_cold,data_warm,data_hot"
}
