No snapshots available options on version 1.7.0

[cello86]

Hi All,
we installed elsaticsearch prometheus exporter version 1.7.0 on a centos container and we found on README.md that the option --es.snapshots is available from version 1.0.4rc1 but isn't present into latest version.

[root@88628e010e29 /]# /usr/local/elasticsearch_exporter/elasticsearch_exporter --version
elasticsearch_exporter, version 1.7.0 (branch: HEAD, revision: d24c8349fe86bab416e614c838175fb31fcd1063)

  build date:       20231221-19:23:52
  go version:       go1.21.5
  platform:         linux/amd64
  tags:             unknown

This is the help command output and error if we tried to use the option present into the documentation:
