Similar to https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/82807 Kibana upgrades can never succeed if a cluster already exceeded the maximum open shards.

It would reduce the downtime and help our users safely upgrade if we emitted a critical warning from the deprecations info API for this condition. At the moment it will only help users upgrading from 7.x to 8.x but we hope to enable the upgrade assistant during minor upgrades too https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/117220
