Description

@andrross

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

The "extended compatibility" experimental feature is intended to allow searchable snapshots to read older versions of OpenSearch snapshots that cannot be restored directly. While well-intended, this feature was introduced 2.5 years ago and never completed. There are additional complexities with enabling this feature for real and supporting long term.

Describe the solution you'd like

Remove this experimental feature.
