Allow force-merge on read-only indices #41624

@DaveCTurner

Description

@DaveCTurner

In #28869 we added a note saying that you should only really force-merge a read-only index. This is a bit misleading: you can't force merge an index that is actually read-only, we really mean to do this on indices that are not going to be written to any more (see comments on #28843). Yet maybe we can permit force-merging on a read-only index? If not we should clarify these docs.
