Honour ignore_unavailable option when resolving indices

For all the requests that support multiple indices and wildcards, hence implementing IndicesRequest.Replaceable, we replace the wildcard expressions with the explicit names of the authorized indices they match. _all or empty indices is treated as a wildcard expression. We can also honour the ignore_unavailable option by going over all the explicit names and filter out the non authorized ones when ignore_unavailable is set to true. If ignore_unavailable is set to false, we leave everything as-is, which will cause an authorization exception to be thrown if only one of those explicit indices is not authorized for the current user.

This is the first step towards resolving elastic/elasticsearch#1250. The remaining issue is that in case we are left with no indices after stripping out the ones that the user is not authorized for, we throw an authorization exception rather than returning an empty response. That will require honouring the allow_no_indices option, which will also change the behaviour when a cluster is empty.

Relates to elastic/elasticsearch#1250
