Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, we have a cluster setting that sets the default replication type for any index in the cluster, namely - CLUSTER_SETTING_REPLICATION_TYPE = "cluster.indices.replication.strategy". This can be overridden by the index.replication.type setting currently.
If we set it to false by default, working of cluster will be as usual and only enforce restriction on the index setting of replication type when it is set to true.
Describe the solution you'd like
Introducing a new cluster setting would help enforce a replication strategy that cannot be overridden by the index replication type.
