Backporting #122615 to 8.branch.
This feature flag controls whether synthetic recovery source is enabled by default when the source mode is synthetic.
The synthetic recovery source feature itself is already available via the index.recovery.use_synthetic_source index setting and can be enabled by anyone using synthetic source.
The default value of index.recovery.use_synthetic_source setting defaults to true when index.mapping.source.mode is enabled. The index.mapping.source.mode default to true if index.mode is logsdb or time_series.
In other words, with this change synthetic recovery source will be enabled by default for logsdb and tsdb.
Closes #116726
