• include the integration tests in release builds (presently excluded) (cf. EQL: Enable QA/rest integration tests for snapshot builds only #51624, EQL: Fix #51541: [CI] unknown setting [xpack.eql.enabled] in release-tests #51699) EQL: Prepare for release #59331
• remove enabling EQL in snapshot docs tests (it will be enabled by default) (cf. [DOCS] Enable EQL on docs integ tests #51537) EQL: Prepare for release #59331
