Restoring from a snapshot (which is a particular form of recovery) does not currently take recovery throttling into account
(i.e. the `indices.recovery.max_bytes_per_sec` setting). While restores are subject to their own throttling (repository
setting `max_restore_bytes_per_sec`), this repository setting does not allow for values to be configured differently on a
per-node basis. As restores are very similar in nature to peer recoveries (streaming bytes to the node), it makes sense to
configure throttling in a single place.
The `max_restore_bytes_per_sec` setting is also changed to default to unlimited now, whereas previously it was set to
`40mb`, which is the current default of `indices.recovery.max_bytes_per_sec`). This means that no behavioral change
will be observed by clusters where the recovery and restore settings were not adapted.
