If an application or API directly accesses system indices, we generate warnings in the deprecation log as indicated in #79633. This PR adds a deprecation notice to the migration docs so that we can inform users of this change and link to additional docs for guidance.

#80028 will add a deprecation message to the 8.0 migration guide.

Relates to #79679

Looks good to me!

Accessing system indices directly results in warnings in the header of API
responses. Use {kib} or the associated feature's {es} APIs to manage the data

Do we need to mention the deprecation logs, or is that implied?

@williamrandolph, we could clarify this statement and say:

Accessing system indices directly results in warnings in the header of API responses and in the deprecation logs.
