[Docs] Add rank_eval size parameter k (#29218)

The rank_eval documentation was missing an explanation of the parameter
`k` that controls the number of top hits that are used in the ranking evaluation.

Closes #29205

 == Ranking Evaluation API
 
+experimental[The ranking evaluation API is experimental and may be changed or removed completely in a future release,

 The ranking evaluation API allows to evaluate the quality of ranked search
 results over a set of typical search queries. Given this set of queries and a
 list or manually rated documents, the `_rank_eval` endpoint calculates and
 returns typical information retrieval metrics like _mean reciprocal rank_,
 _precision_ or _discounted cumulative gain_.

-A document `rating` can be any integer value that expresses the relevance of the document on a user defined scale. For some of the metrics, just giving a binary rating (e.g. `0` for irrelevant and `1` for relevant) will be sufficient, other metrics can use a more fine grained scale.
