After another round of input from @cbuescher this adds a few more sanity
checks to request parsing.
In addition adds (back) support for the reverse option.
Resolve index names to Index instances early
Today index names are often resolved lazily, only when they are really
needed. This can be problematic especially when it gets to mapping updates
etc. when a node sends a mapping update to the master but while the request
is in-flight the index changes for whatever reason we would still apply the update
since we use the name of the index to identify the index in the clusterstate.
The problem is that index names can be reused which happens in practice and sometimes
even in a automated way rendering this problem as realistic.
In this change we resolve the index including it's UUID as early as possible in places
where changes to the clusterstate are possible. For instance mapping updates on a node use a
concrete index rather than it's name and the master will fail the mapping update iff
the index can't be found by it's <name, uuid> tuple.
Closes#17048

Changes:
- no more option to configure eager/lazy loading of the norms (useless now
that orms are disk-based)
- only the `string`, `text` and `keyword` fields support the `norms` setting
- the `norms` setting takes a boolean that decides whether norms should be
stored in the index but old options are still supported to give users time
to upgrade
- setting a `boost` no longer implicitely enables norms (for new indices only,
this is still needed for old indices)
Today, certain bootstrap properties are set and read via system
properties. This action-at-distance way of managing these properties is
rather confusing, and completely unnecessary. But another problem exists
with setting these as system properties. Namely, these system properties
are interpreted as Elasticsearch settings, not all of which are
registered. This leads to Elasticsearch failing to startup if any of
these special properties are set. Instead, these properties should be
kept as local as possible, and passed around as method parameters where
needed. This eliminates the action-at-distance way of handling these
properties, and eliminates the need to register these non-setting
properties. This commit does exactly that.
Additionally, today we use the "-D" command line flag to set the
properties, but this is confusing because "-D" is a special flag to the
JVM for setting system properties. This creates confusion because some
"-D" properties should be passed via arguments to the JVM (so via
ES_JAVA_OPTS), and some should be passed as arguments to
Elasticsearch. This commit changes the "-D" flag for Elasticsearch
settings to "-E".
To make API's output more easy to read we are suppressing stack traces (#12991) unless explicitly requested by setting `error_trace=true` on the request. To compensate we are logging the stacktrace into the logs so people can look it up even the error_trace wasn't enabled. Currently we do so using the `INFO` level which can be verbose if an api is called repeatedly by some automation. For example, if someone tries to read from an index that doesn't exist we will respond with a 404 exception and log under info every time. We should reduce the level to `DEBUG` as we do with other API driven errors. Internal errors (rest codes >=500) are logged as WARN.
Closes#16627
This change adds the infrastructure to run the rest tests on a multi-node
cluster that users 2 different minor versions of elasticsearch. It doesn't implement
any dedicated BWC tests but rather leverages the existing REST tests.
Since we don't have a real version to test against, the tests uses the current version
until the first minor / RC is released to ensure the infrastructure works.

When unzipping a plugin zip, the zip entries are resolved relative to
the directory being unzipped into. However, there are currently no
checks that the entry name was not absolute, or relatively points
outside of the plugin dir. This change adds a check for those two cases.
