Implement ability to search specific types in the index, instead of blanket type search

[aweber1]

Sitecore.ContentSearch.ElasticSearchProvider.LinqToElasticSearchIndex.Execute()

Elasticsearch allows you to assign arbitrary 'types' for the documents you index. Think of these types as (more or less) categories as opposed to types you find in programming languages (i.e. string, int, etc...).

When executing a search against an ES index, you can specify which types to search against. Currently, the provider code just does a blanket search against all types in the index. Ideally, the provider would be able to infer the type(s) to search against based on a mapping or attribute or generic argument, etc.. The indexing functions would need to infer types as well so that documents are stored with the proper type declaration.

There's probably a pretty straightforward way to do this (notice I didn't say "easy"), but not tonight.
