[exporter/elasticsearch] Deprecate mode: ecs configuration option and change default to mode: none

Describe the issue you're reporting

Summarizing relevant bits from this conversation:

The elasticsearch exporter supports a mode configuration option. The default value of this option is ecs. Other supported values are none and, after #29619 is merged, raw.

Looking at the exporter's code, it appears that the mode: ecs configuration doesn't have any effect and is functionally the same as mode: none. So the proposal is to deprecate mode: ecs and make mode: none the default instead. After a sufficient amount of deprecation time — 3 months? 6 months? — remove mode: ecs altogether.

@JaredTan95 is this change the future plan for the component? I had previously submitted #30454 but wasn't able to follow up before it got closed as stale. I can reopen the PR if there is interest in that alternate direction.

@j-kap-t Sorry for the late reply, I think you can reopen your PR and push forward it~

@ycombinator FYI, #30454 implements ecs mode and sets the default mode to none

Thanks @JaredTan95 , I had to recreate it since I don't have permissions to re-open: #31553.
