Tianlun Li e7ae9ae596 Deprecate delaying state recovery for master nodes (#53646)
It is useful to be able to delay state recovery until enough data nodes have
joined the cluster, since this gives the shard allocator a decent opportunity
to re-use as much existing data as possible. However we also have the option to
delay state recovery until a certain number of master-eligible nodes have
joined, and this is unnecessary: we require a majority of master-eligible nodes
for state recovery, and there is no advantage in waiting for more.

This commit deprecates the unnecessary settings in preparation for their
removal.

[[modules-gateway]]
== Local Gateway
The local gateway module stores the cluster state and shard data across full
cluster restarts.
The following _static_ settings, which must be set on every master node,
control how long a freshly elected master should wait before it tries to
recover the cluster state and the cluster's data:
`gateway.expected_nodes`::
deprecated:[7.7.0, This setting will be removed in 8.0. You should use `gateway.expected_data_nodes` instead.]
The number of (data or master) nodes that are expected to be in the cluster.
Recovery of local shards will start as soon as the expected number of
nodes have joined the cluster. Defaults to `0`
`gateway.expected_master_nodes`::
deprecated:[7.7.0, This setting will be removed in 8.0. You should use `gateway.expected_data_nodes` instead.]
The number of master nodes that are expected to be in the cluster.
Recovery of local shards will start as soon as the expected number of
master nodes have joined the cluster. Defaults to `0`
`gateway.expected_data_nodes`::
The number of data nodes that are expected to be in the cluster.
Recovery of local shards will start as soon as the expected number of
data nodes have joined the cluster. Defaults to `0`
`gateway.recover_after_time`::
If the expected number of nodes is not achieved, the recovery process waits
for the configured amount of time before trying to recover regardless.
Defaults to `5m` if one of the `expected_nodes` settings is configured.
Once the `recover_after_time` duration has timed out, recovery will start
as long as the following conditions are met:
`gateway.recover_after_nodes`::
deprecated:[7.7.0, This setting will be removed in 8.0. You should use `gateway.recover_after_data_nodes` instead.]
Recover as long as this many data or master nodes have joined the cluster.
`gateway.recover_after_master_nodes`::
deprecated:[7.7.0, This setting will be removed in 8.0. You should use `gateway.recover_after_data_nodes` instead.]
Recover as long as this many master nodes have joined the cluster.
`gateway.recover_after_data_nodes`::
Recover as long as this many data nodes have joined the cluster.
NOTE: These settings only take effect on a full cluster restart.
[[modules-gateway-dangling-indices]]
=== Dangling indices
When a node joins the cluster, any shards stored in its local data
directory which do not already exist in the cluster will be imported into the
cluster. This functionality is intended as a best effort to help users who
lose all master nodes. If a new master node is started which is unaware of
the other indices in the cluster, adding the old nodes will cause the old
indices to be imported, instead of being deleted.
