[DOCS] Remove testenv annotations from doc snippet tests (#80023)
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.

=== Create or update lifecycle policy API
++++
<titleabbrev>Create or update lifecycle policy</titleabbrev>
++++
Creates or updates lifecycle policy. See <<ilm-policy-definition>> for
definitions of policy components.
[[ilm-put-lifecycle-request]]
==== {api-request-title}
`PUT _ilm/policy/<policy_id>`
[[ilm-put-lifecycle-prereqs]]
==== {api-prereq-title}
* If the {es} {security-features} are enabled, you must have the `manage_ilm`
cluster privilege to use this API. You must also have the `manage` index
privilege on all indices being managed by `policy`. {ilm-init} performs
operations as the user who last updated the policy. {ilm-init} only has the
<<defining-roles,roles>> assigned to the user at the time of the last policy
update.
[[ilm-put-lifecycle-desc]]
==== {api-description-title}
Creates a lifecycle policy. If the specified policy exists, the policy is
replaced and the policy version is incremented.
NOTE: Only the latest version of the policy is stored, you cannot revert to
previous versions.
[[ilm-put-lifecycle-path-params]]
==== {api-path-parms-title}
`<policy_id>`::
(Required, string) Identifier for the policy.
[[ilm-put-lifecycle-query-params]]
==== {api-query-parms-title}
include::{es-repo-dir}/rest-api/common-parms.asciidoc[tag=timeoutparms]
[[ilm-put-lifecycle-example]]
==== {api-examples-title}
The following example creates a new policy named `my_policy`. In addition, you can use the
`_meta` parameter to add arbitrary metadata to the policy, the `_meta` parameter is optional
and not automatically generated or used by Elasticsearch. To unset `_meta`, replace the policy
without specifying one. To check the `_meta`, you can use the <<ilm-get-lifecycle,Get lifecycle policy>> API.
