Enhance searchable snapshots to enable a read-only view of older snapshots (#5429)

* Enhance searchable snapshots to enable a read-only view of older snapshots

This change removes the guardrails around N-1 backward compatibility and uses Lucene's "expert" APIs to read snapshots (Lucene segments) older than N-1 on a best-effort basis. The functionality is gated by an additional feature flag, separate from the searchable snapshots flag. Note that the Lucene integration is rather inefficient because the necessary "expert" Lucene APIs are still package-private.

* Added some unit tests

This change also includes a test index ZIP file for the unit tests. The change also introduces a bug fix in the readAnySegmentsInfo method to close the reader before returning the SegmentInfos object - this avoids dangling/open file handles.

* Remove use of IndexSetting for minimum version for snapshots backwards compatibility

* Moved ES 6.3.0 test data to a subdirectory

This change also includes an update to the file name to clarify that it is an ES index, and changing the associated markdown file name to just README.md. All tests that reference this ZIP file have corresponding changes to the path they reference.
