Reduce shard inactivity timeout to 5m 

To better distribute the memory allocating to indexing, the IndexingMemoryController periodically checks the different shard for their last indexing activity. If no activity has happened for a while, the controller marks the shards as in active and allocated it's memory buffer budget (but a small minimal budget) to other active shards. The recently added synced flush feature (#11179, #11336) uses this inactivity trigger to attempt as a trigger to attempt adding a sync id marker (which will speed up future recoveries).

We wait for 30m before declaring a shard inactive. However, these days the operation just requires a refresh and is light. We can be stricter (and 5m) increase the chance a synced flush will be triggered.

Closes #11479

an opportunity for Elasticsearch to reduce shard resources and also perform
a special kind of flush, called `synced flush`. A synced flush performs a normal flush, then adds
a generated unique marker (sync_id) to all shards.

The Synced Flush API allows an administrator to initiate a synced flush manually. This can be particularly useful for

While handy, there are a couple of caveats for this API:
