> Open old index files with read-only permission

> Key: KAFKA-5841

> Since old index files do not change, we may as well drop the write permission
> needed when opening them. From the doc comments in {{OffsetIndex}}, it sounds
> like we may have had this implemented at one point:
> {code}
> * Index files can be opened in two ways: either as an empty, mutable index
> that allows appends or
> * an immutable read-only index file that has previously been populated. The
> makeReadOnly method will turn a mutable file into an
> * immutable one and truncate off any extra bytes. This is done when the
> index file is rolled over.
> {code}
> So we should either support this or (if there is good reason not to) update
> the comment.
