   https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-17269
   
   # Description
   
   The synthetic collection/replica introduced in Solr 9 registers such 
collection to zookeeper. This might cause issues with other tools which monitor 
solr collections via zk and they might be mistaken the synthetic collection as 
a real collection.
   
   # Solution
   
   It seems that what we essentially need is a SolrCore in the memory for each 
config set, which might be able to simply register it against the CoreContainer 
without actually registering to ZK.
   
   We are introducing a new class `SyntheticSolrCore` which extends `SolrCore`, 
`SyntheticSolrCore` is only used in Coordinator node to support a subset of 
`SolrCore` functionalities required by Coordinator operations such as 
aggregating and writing out response and providing configset info. 
   
   Such core is only registered to the `CoreContainer` but is no longer 
registering itself to zookeeper. 
   
   Take note that to minimize code changes, there will still be snapshot/index 
data directory written to the Coordinator node. We could have overridden 
`initSnapshotMetaDataManager` and `initIndex` to be no-op to avoid creating 
them, however, there is currently other code (and possibly future code too) 
that might rely on the existence of those values. It is safer to just keep them 
as is. 
   
   The data folder for the synthetic core would NOT be loaded on QA node 
start-up as there's no `core.properties` in such directory. This is because 
instead of going through `CoreContainer#create` for such synthetic core, it's 
using `SyntheticSolrCore#createAndRegisterCore`, which bypass `core.properties` 
creation and zk registration
   
   # Tests
   
   The existing `TestCoordinatorRole` has already provided good coverage of 
various scenarios. Take note that we have removed the test code that verifies 
the existence of cores from the synthetic collection since zk no longer keeps 
track of synthetic collections
