David Turner c558ef6505 Add snapshots to important config list (#65338)
The _Important Elasticsearch configuration_ docs lists a number of items
that you should consider before moving to production. Today this list
does not include configuring snapshots, even though they're very
important to have in production. This commit addresses that omission,
removes some repetition from the introductory paragraphs, and notes that
this config is handled for you on Cloud.

[[important-settings]]
== Important Elasticsearch configuration
{es} requires very little configuration to get started, but there are a number
of items which *must* be considered before using your cluster in production:
* <<path-settings,Path settings>>
* <<cluster-name,Cluster name setting>>
* <<node-name,Node name setting>>
* <<network.host,Network host settings>>
* <<discovery-settings,Discovery settings>>
* <<heap-size,Heap size settings>>
* <<heap-dump-path,JVM heap dump path setting>>
* <<gc-logging,GC logging settings>>
* <<es-tmpdir,Temporary directory settings>>
* <<error-file-path,JVM fatal error log setting>>
* <<important-settings-backups,Cluster backups>>
Our {ess-trial}[{ecloud}] service configures these items automatically, making
your cluster production-ready by default.
