Support 'include_type_name' in RestGetIndicesAction #37149

This change adds support for the 'include_type_name' parameter for the
indices.get API. This parameter, which defaults to false starting in 7.0,
changes the response to not include the indices type names any longer.

If the parameter is set in the request, we additionally emit a deprecation
warning since using the parameter should be only temporarily necessary while
adapting to the new response format and we will remove it with the next major
version.

I started referring to this parameter name from various places in elastic#37149 so I
think it's a good idea to simplify things by referring to a common constant.

Thanks @cbuescher, this looks like it's on a good track. My main questions are around the Java HLRC:

  • I had assumed we would flatten GetIndexResponse#mappings to be of type ImmutableOpenMap<String, MappingMetaData>, to avoid nesting the mappings under the _doc key.
  • When we backport to 6.x, are we planning to add note under 'breaking changes', and also a 'breaking' label to the PR? My understanding from reading this PR is that for the Java HLRC we will force include_type_name = false.

Finally, maybe a Java HLRC expert could take a look to make sure this breaking approach is okay.

* I had assumed we would flatten `GetIndexResponse#mappings` to be of type `ImmutableOpenMap<String, MappingMetaData>`, to avoid nesting the mappings under the `_doc` key.

If we want to do this, I would only do it in the getter in GetIndexResponse, but leave the internal mappings field as is. Otherwise we also need to touch serialization and possible how the mappings are filled in TransportGetIndexAction. I think these are internal refactorings that we should do later, maybe even only on 8.0 where we remove all this cruft.

Changing the Java-API of GetIndexResponse however would be breaking, at least in 7.0. I wouldn't backport this change to 6.x. It would also mean ppl. would be able to get at the "old" type names via the REST API but not e.g. using the old transport client, which might be considered odd.

My understanding from reading this PR is that for the Java HLRC we will force `include_type_name = false`.

So far I thought we could make the 6.x HLRC client force include_type_name = true to get back the legacy format. The 6.x client needs to be forward compatible, so they should be able to talk to both 6.x and 7.0 nodes. I think it would help people transitioning if they would not need to update any of their own application logic before moving to the 7.0 client which will force the new response behaviour and will swallow the type information.

@jtibshirani thanks for the review, I pushed a round of changes and tried to respond to your two questions above. Let me know if these answers make sense or you have objections. If we cannot decide on the GetIndexResponse#mappings change for now, we can leave it out of this PR perhaps and discuss it in more details elsewhere? It should be easy to add if we agree on doing so later on as well.

A few more comments, it looks very close! Sounds good about revisiting the mappings HLRC change later. It would be good to have a high-bandwidth discussion about this in person.

I left a few comments for your consideration, but they are minor and I don't think need another round of review.
