Bukhtawar cd304c4def Auto-release flood-stage write block (#42559)
If a node exceeds the flood-stage disk watermark then we add a block to all of
its indices to prevent further writes as a last-ditch attempt to prevent the
node completely exhausting its disk space. However today this block remains in
place until manually removed, and this block is a source of confusion for users
who current have ample disk space and did not even realise they nearly ran out
at some point in the past.

This commit changes our behaviour to automatically remove this block when a
node drops below the high watermark again. The expectation is that the high
watermark is some distance below the flood-stage watermark and therefore the
disk space problem is truly resolved.

Fixes #39334

Tests: Wipe cluster settings after every test (#28410)
Cluster settings shouldn't leak into the next test.

I played with failing the test if it left over any settings but that
felt like it added more ceremony then it was worth. The advantage is
that any test that intentionally wants to leave settings in place after
the test would fail and require looking at but, so far as I can tell, we
don't have any such tests.

Docs: Clear watermarks after setting them (#28402)
Clear the disk watermark after the snippet showing users how to set it.
Without this our tests will fail if the disks have less than 10GB free.

Jason Tedor e165c405ac Add an underscore to flood stage setting
This is a minor nitty bikeshedding change that renames the suffix of the
disk flood stage setting to "flood_stage" from "floodstage".

Jason Tedor bc22c1c286 Add disk threshold settings validation
This commit adds cross-settings validation for the low/high/flood stage
disk watermark settings. This validation was enabled by the introduction
of multiple settings validation.

Simon Willnauer 6e5cc424a8 Switch indices read-only if a node runs out of disk space (#25541)
Today when we run out of disk all kinds of crazy things can happen
and nodes are becoming hard to maintain once out of disk is hit.
While we try to move shards away if we hit watermarks this might not
be possible in many situations. Based on the discussion in #24299
this change monitors disk utilization and adds a flood-stage watermark
that causes all indices that are allocated on a node hitting the flood-stage
mark to be switched read-only (with the option to be deleted). This allows users to react on the low disk
situation while subsequent write requests will be rejected. Users can switch
individual indices read-write once the situation is sorted out. There is no
automatic read-write switch once the node has enough space. This requires
user interaction.

The flood-stage watermark is set to `95%` utilization by default.

Closes #24299

Nik Everett 4b1c116461 Generate and run tests from the docs
Adds infrastructure so `gradle :docs:check` will extract tests from
snippets in the documentation and execute the tests. This is included
in `gradle check` so it should happen on CI and during a normal build.

By default each `// AUTOSENSE` snippet creates a unique REST test. These
tests are executed in a random order and the cluster is wiped between
each one. If multiple snippets chain together into a test you can annotate
all snippets after the first with `// TEST[continued]` to have the
generated tests for both snippets joined.

Snippets marked as `// TESTRESPONSE` are checked against the response
of the last action.

See docs/README.asciidoc for lots more.

Closes #12583. That issue is about catching bugs in the docs during build.
This catches *some* bugs in the docs during build which is a good start.

Simon Willnauer 66b78341e4 Add note about multi data path and disk threshold deciders
Prior to 2.0 we summed up the available space on all disk on a node
due to the raid-0 like behavior. Now we don't do this anymore and use the
min & max disk space to make decisions.

Closes #13106
