Allocation awareness allocates some replicas (#104800)

The docs for forced awareness indicate that no replicas will be assigned
until all zones are available, which is definitely undesirable and also
not the actual behaviour. This commit fixes the wording to match what
really happens.

Closes #104777

 ===== Forced awareness
 
-By default, if one location fails, Elasticsearch assigns all of the missing
-replica shards to the remaining locations. While you might have sufficient
-resources across all locations to host your primary and replica shards, a single
-location might be unable to host *ALL* of the shards.
+By default, if one location fails, {es} spreads its shards across the remaining
+locations. This might be undesirable if the cluster does not have sufficient
+resources to host all its shards when one location is missing.
 
-To prevent a single location from being overloaded in the event of a failure,
-you can set `cluster.routing.allocation.awareness.force` so no replicas are
-allocated until nodes are available in another location.
+To prevent the remaining locations from being overloaded in the event of a
+whole-location failure, specify the attribute values that should exist with the
+`cluster.routing.allocation.awareness.force.*` settings. This will mean that
+{es} will prefer to leave some replicas unassigned in the event of a
+whole-location failure instead of overloading the nodes in the remaining
+locations.
 
-For example, if you have an awareness attribute called `zone` and configure nodes
-in `zone1` and `zone2`, you can use forced awareness to prevent Elasticsearch
-from allocating replicas if only one zone is available:
+For example, if you have an awareness attribute called `zone` and configure
+nodes in `zone1` and `zone2`, you can use forced awareness to make {es} leave
+half of your shard copies unassigned if only one zone is available:

 cluster.routing.allocation.awareness.attributes: zone
 cluster.routing.allocation.awareness.force.zone.values: zone1,zone2 <1>

-<1> Specify all possible values for the awareness attribute.

-With this example configuration, if you start two nodes with `node.attr.zone` set
-to `zone1` and create an index with 5 shards and 1 replica, Elasticsearch creates
-the index and allocates the 5 primary shards but no replicas. Replicas are
-only allocated once nodes with `node.attr.zone` set to `zone2` are available.

+With this example configuration, if you have two nodes with `node.attr.zone`
+set to `zone1` and an index with `number_of_replicas` set to `1`, {es}
+allocates all the primary shards but none of the replicas. It will assign the
+replica shards once nodes with a different value for `node.attr.zone` join the
+cluster. In contrast, if you do not configure forced awareness, {es} will
+allocate all primaries and replicas to the two nodes even though they are in
+the same zone.
