Lee Hinman cfad6688b0 Migrate migration docs from 6.0 to 7.0 (#26227)
* Migrate migration docs from 6.0 to 7.0

Since we only keep one version of migration docs and master is now on 7.0, we
should migrate these so breaking changes can be added in the right place.

* Remove release notes as well

They link to the migration guides, so they have to go.

* Add placeholder notes for 7.0 so doc build is happy

This section discusses the changes that you need to be aware of when migrating
your application from one version of Elasticsearch to another.
As a general rule:
* Migration between minor versions -- e.g. `7.x` to `7.y` -- can be
performed by <<rolling-upgrades,upgrading one node at a time>>.
* Migration between consecutive major versions -- e.g. `6.x` to `7.x` --
requires a <<restart-upgrade,full cluster restart>>.
* Migration between non-consecutive major versions -- e.g. `5.x` to `7.x` --
is not supported.
See <<setup-upgrade>> for more info.
