This removes the option to run a cluster without enforcing the
cluster-wide shard limit, making strict enforcement the default and only
behavior. The limit can still be adjusted as desired using the cluster
settings API.
With this change, `Version` no longer carries information about the qualifier,
we still need a way to show the "display version" that does have both
qualifier and snapshot. This is now stored by the build and red from `META-INF`.
In a future major version, we will be introducing a soft limit on the
number of shards in a cluster based on the number of nodes in the
cluster. This limit will be configurable, and checked on operations
which create or open shards and issue a warning if the operation would
take the cluster over the limit.
There is an option to enable strict enforcement of the limit, which
turns the warnings into errors. In a future release, the option will be
removed and strict enforcement will be the default (and only) behavior.
