Previously node.max_local_storage_nodes defaulted to fifty, and this
permitted users to start multiple instances of Elasticsearch sharing the
same data folder. This can be dangerous, and usually it does not make
sense to run more than one instance of Elasticsearch on a single
server. Because of this, we had a note in the important settings docs
advising users to set this setting to one. However, we have since
changed the default value of this setting to one so this advise is no
longer needed.

Relates #19964, relates #20029
