Originally much of the REST API compatibility code was to live in
x-pack. However, some design changes has removed this requirements
and there is no longer a need to explicitly use the default distribution
for REST API compatibility testing.
If using the default distribution AND applying the modules for test clusters (as is the default) then there can be server errors such as mapping types already registered. If we had kept with the original design we would need to figure out how to conditionally add modules...but now we can simply remove this special requirement.
