Description
From #57629 onward we have started installing logs, metrics, and synthetics templates that match the logs-*-*, metrics-*-*, and synthetics-*-* index patterns.
An issue arises when a user upgrades their cluster to a version that includes these templates while also using an index pattern that would coincide with these (such as a user having daily indices named logs-data-things-2020-09-23 for example).
In order to mitigate these issues, we should add a node level setting that disables putting these templates in place automatically. The setting should also be dynamic (so as not to require restarting all the nodes if a user needs to get rid of the templates), and we should also better document the stack plugin, the built in templates, and potential issues that may arrive when a user upgrades.
