In elastic#55592 and elastic#55416, we deprecated the settings for enabling and disabling basic license features and turned those settings into no-ops. Since doing so, we've had feedback that this change may not give users enough time to cleanly switch from non-ILM index management tools to ILM. If two index managers operate simultaneously, results could be strange and difficult to reconstruct. We don't know of any cases where SLM will cause a problem, but we are restoring that setting as well, to be on the safe side. This PR is not a strict commit reversion. First, we are keeping the new xpack.watcher.use_ilm_index_management setting, introduced when xpack.ilm.enabled was made a no-op, so that users can begin migrating to using it. Second, the SLM setting was modified in the same commit as a group of other settings, so I have taken just the changes relating to SLM.
