[DOCS] Add get and delete steps to data stream setup tutorial (#58068) (#58107)

Adds corresponding steps for the get and delete data stream APIs to the
data stream setup tutorial. Also provides some guidance on how to
determine the current write index for a data stream.

+=== Get information about a data stream
+
+You can use the <<indices-get-data-stream,get data stream API>> to get
+information about one or more data streams, including:
+
+* The timestamp field
+* The current backing indices, which is returned as an array. The last item in
+  the array contains information about the stream's current write index.
+* The current generation
+
+This is also handy way to verify that a recently created data stream exists.
+
+.*Example*
+[%collapsible]

+The following get data stream API request retrieves information about any data
+streams starting with `logs`.
+
+[source,console]
+----
+GET /_data_stream/logs*
+----
+// TEST[skip: shard failures]
+
+The API returns the following response, which includes information about the
+`logs` data stream. Note the `indices` property contains an array of the
+stream's current backing indices. The last item in this array contains
+information for the `logs` stream's write index, `.ds-logs-000002`.

+You can use the <<indices-delete-data-stream,delete data stream API>> to delete
+a data stream and its backing indices.
+
+.*Example*
+[%collapsible]

+The following delete data stream API request deletes the `logs` data stream. This
