The same property file when used with ES 7.9 writes deprecation logs when some deprecated feature is being used.

To generate a deprecation log I am creating an index with `include_type_name`

```auto
curl -v -XPUT "localhost:9205/test?include_type_name=true&pretty" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
    "settings": {
        "number_of_shards": 1
    },
    "mappings": {
    "testtype":{
        "properties": {
            "field1": {
                "type": "text"
            }
        }
        }
    }
}
'

```

As mentioned previously the logFile gets created when the above request is hit in ES 7.9  
But with ES 7.15.2, the deprecation logFile is not getting created.

Note: We were using a single node cluster with ES 7.9 and upgraded it to ES 7.15.2 (Rolling Upgrade) and noticed that deprecations logs are not being generated even on using a deprecated feature.
