Remove SysV init support
c271020 
With the removal of support for older OSes, we no longer have any
supported systems which use SysV init. This commit removes support for
that legacy init system.

I believe #51499 and https://github.com/elastic/infra/pull/17537 have resolved this issue as we are no longer doing any testing on the above listed OSes on master. @rjernst am I missing anything?

These are coded into the directory structure, so there is no need to
also list them in testing docs.
