This allows Elasticsearch instances with local NVMe disks to use those
very fast, local disks. Instance types such as c5d, m5d, r5d, and
i3 all have them.
These disks should have much faster access and lower latency than EBS
volumes, which are network filesystems.
Note: this change will still require an EBS data volume to be created.
It would be possible to toggle this but it would require a lot of very
convoluted terraform code. For now, a simple workaround is to set the data
volume size to 1GB.
