Skip get_alias tests for 5.x (#31397)
Some recent failures on the mixed cluster tests were caused by #31308. Instead of executing get index API when calling GET /_alias we now go through the get alias API. The behaviour of such API is slightly different on 5.6 compared to 6.x and master as to whether indices that have no aliases are returned or not. In fact #25114 was not backported to 5.6. When the 5.6 node is the elected master, if the get alias API goes through such node or another 5.x node, the get index API will be used internally and all tests are fine. If some 6.x node is hit though by the client request, we will go through the get alias API, but we will do it through the elected master which will not return indices without aliases (at transport, see MetaData#findAliases on 5.6). That means that in a mixed cluster this API will return a different result depending on which node is the elected master and which one is hit by the request.
