The "Restore any snapshots as required" step is a trap: it's somewhere between
tricky and impossible to restore multiple clusters into a single one.
Also add a note about configuring discovery during a rolling upgrade to
proscribe any rare cases where you might accidentally autobootstrap during the
upgrade.
Add a couple of pointers for the user to check the
overall cluster health and the version of ES running
on every node.

We do mention that rolling back an upgrade requires a restore from a snapshot,
but it's hidden at the bottom of the "preparing to upgrade" instructions on a
different page from the actual upgrade instructions. This commit duplicates the
preparatory instructions onto the pages containing the actual upgrade
instructions and rewords the point about rollbacks a bit.
While the plugin installation directory used to be settable, it has not
been so for several major versions. This commit removes a lingering
reference to the plugins directory in upgrade docs.

A few places in the documentation had mentioned 6.7 as the version to
upgrade from, when doing an upgrade to 7.0. While this is technically
possible, this commit will replace all those mentions to 6.8, as this is
the latest version with the latest bugfixes, deprecation checks and
ugprade assistant features - which should be the one used for upgrades.

Adds a note that restarting half-or-more of the master-eligible nodes means
you're no longer doing a rolling upgrade, and may need to upgrade all the
things before the cluster returns to health.
Command needs `?v` so user can see the column headers. Otherwise the instructions in the note about checking the init and relo columns don't make sense
The current documentation recommends disabling allocations of all shards. This prevents shards of
new indices from being allocated as well. That means that during a rolling upgrade, operations like
roll over and index shrinking will operate correctly. This, in turn, can cause issues for data ingestion
and ILM.
Upgrading the Elastic Stack perfectly documents the process to
upgrade ES from 5 to 6 when internal indices are present. However,
the rolling upgrade docs do not mention anything about internal indices.
This adds a warning in the rolling upgrade procedure, highlighting that
internal indices should be upgraded before the rolling upgrade procedure
can be started.
This commit overhauls the documentation of discovery and cluster coordination,
removing mention of the Zen Discovery module and replacing it with docs for the
new cluster coordination mechanism introduced in 7.0.

Tweak the upgrade instructions for moving from pre-6.3-with-x-pack to
post-6.3-default distribution. Specifically, you have to remove the
x-pack plugin before upgrading because 6.4 doesn't understand how to
remove it.

Since we disable allocation using persistent settings, we should be consistent and remove
the setting from the persistent storage. Otherwise an accidental restart will lead for shards
not being allocated.
