We don't mention linearizable registers in the snapshot/restore docs
today, but these things are verified for correctness by the repository
analysis API and some users with incorrect repository implementations
struggle to understand the verification errors. This commit adds some
docs to describe them and their various implementations.
With https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/81870, the Azure, GCS, and S3 repository types have separate, dedicated pages in the Elasticsearch guide. For consistency, this PR creates separate pages for the shared file system, read-only URL, and source-only repository types.
Related changes:
- Adds redirects to the plugins docs
- Fixes a few breaking changes that refer to the Azure, GCS, and S3 repositories as plugins.
