Description

Need to update the release wizard in 8x to create the back-compat indices and update the Version info so that issues like: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-10131 don't impact future 8x release managers. Hopefully an 8.11 is NOT needed but release managers have enough on their plate to get right that we should fix this if possible. If not, we at least need to document the process of doing it manually.
