The GET /_license endpoint displays "enterprise" licenses as "platinum" by default so that old clients (including beats, kibana and logstash) know to interpret this new license type as if it were a platinum license. However, this compatibility layer was not applied to the GET /_xpack/ endpoint which also displays a license type & mode. This commit causes the _xpack API to mimic the _license API and treat enterprise as platinum by default, with a new accept_enterprise parameter that will cause the API to return the correct "enterprise" value. This BWC layer exists only for the 7.x branch. This is a breaking change because, since 7.6, the _xpack API has returned "enterprise" for enterprise licenses, but this has been found to break old versions of beats and logstash so needs to be corrected.
