This is the shell of the persistent task to reindex a data stream. It includes the transport action that creates the persistent task, returning the persistent task id. The persistent task currently just looks up all indices for a data stream, finds the ones that need upgrading, and then marks itself as complete. The actual implementation of reindex will come later, as will the ability to call it via a rest endpoint, and the ability to fetch the status of the reindex based on the persistent task id.
Note that when the reindex task is complete, it actually schedules the persistent task to complete in 1 day. This is to allow the user (most likely the kibana upgrade assistant) up to 1 day to check the status of a reindex after it completes. Related, this means that a user must currently find and kill the task if they want to run reindex again within 1 day of a failed run. This might be improved in a future PR by using a unique persistent task id.
