Describe the feature:

The _ilm/explain API is really useful when troubleshooting, but unfortunately has no way to keep track "past" action execution events.

It would be nice to have one of the following:

  1. The timestamp within the output of the _ilm/explain API for each step and action

It is probably not feasible because of the fact this gets stored in the cluster state and if the index is deleted, we do not have any history.
It would mean N additional epoch fields, one per step/action. This could be simplified if we restrict this "history" to steps only.

  1. An hidden index (e.g. .ilm-history) to keep track of the executed ILM steps and actions

  2. An "audit" log for ILM

Somehow similar to #40552, but it's output is quite technical/verbose and requires debug/trace logging.

On the same subject, it would be interesting to put the chosen node ID when shrinking an index (in the shrink action) in the ILM explain API.
This could be a small extra information which would be present only on indices being shrunk.

Add ILM histore store index
f20d827 
This commit adds an ILM history store that tracks the lifecycle
execution state as an index progresses through its ILM policy. ILM
history documents store output similar to what the ILM explain API
returns.

An example document with ALL fields (not all documents will have all
fields) would look like:

```json
{
  "@timestamp": 1203012389,
  "policy": "my-ilm-policy",
  "index": "index-2019.1.1-000023",
  "index_age":123120,
  "success": true,
  "state": {
    "phase": "warm",
    "action": "allocate",
    "step": "ERROR",
    "failed_step": "update-settings",
    "is_auto-retryable_error": true,
    "creation_date": 12389012039,
    "phase_time": 12908389120,
    "action_time": 1283901209,
    "step_time": 123904107140,
    "phase_definition": "{\"policy\":\"ilm-history-ilm-policy\",\"phase_definition\":{\"min_age\":\"0ms\",\"actions\":{\"rollover\":{\"max_size\":\"50gb\",\"max_age\":\"30d\"}}},\"version\":1,\"modified_date_in_millis\":1576517253463}",
    "step_info": "{... etc step info here as json ...}"
  },
  "error_details": "java.lang.RuntimeException: etc\n\tcaused by:etc etc etc full stacktrace"
}
```

These documents go into the `ilm-history-1-00000N` index to provide an
audit trail of the operations ILM has performed.

This history storage is enabled by default but can be disabled by setting
`index.lifecycle.history_index_enabled` to `false.`

* Make ILMHistoryStore.putAsync truly async (#50403)

This moves the `putAsync` method in `ILMHistoryStore` never to block.
Previously due to the way that the `BulkProcessor` works, it was possible
for `BulkProcessor#add` to block executing a bulk request. This was bad
as we may be adding things to the history store in cluster state update
threads.

This also moves the index creation to be done prior to the bulk request
execution, rather than being checked every time an operation was added
to the queue. This lessens the chance of the index being created, then
deleted (by some external force), and then recreated via a bulk indexing
request.
