Document that awareness attributes override custom preferences (#83818)
When selecting replicas in a search, the coordinating node prefers nodes with the same shard allocation awareness attributes. If the search contains a custom preference string, then it will be ignored in favor of selecting a node with the same attributes. In 8.0, allocation awareness attributes no longer influence search replica selection. So although this is a bug, we do not intend to fix it in 7.x or 6.x. Instead, we document the behavior as a 'warning' and mention a system property that can be used to disable the behavior.
