Rolling up indices that contain multiple schemas requires extra
considerations for the user, and in some cases, some limitations. This
commit tries to enumerate the issues so the user is aware.

Renaming should hopefully make it more clear that this is the size
of pages to process during rolling up, nothing to do with the size
of the various groups, metrics, etc.

This PR adds logic to ensure that the fields (and field types) configured
in the Rollup Job are present in the index/indices specified by the job's
index pattern. If a field is missing, or is not aggregatable, it
will throw an exception before the job is created.
This is important for user-friendliness, because otherwise the user
only discovers an issue with mapping when the job is started and
fails to rollup correctly (and only really noticeable by looking at logs,
since it's a runtime failure).

This adds a new Rollup module to XPack, which allows users to configure periodic "rollup jobs" to pre-aggregate data. That data is then available later for search through a special RollupSearch API, which mimics the DSL and functionality of regular search.
Rollups are used to drastically reduce the on-disk footprint of metric-based data (e.g. timestamped document with numeric and keyword fields). It can also be used to speed up aggregations over large datasets, since the rolled data will be considerably smaller and fewer documents to search.
The PR adds seven new endpoints to interact with Rollups; create/get/delete job, start/stop job, a capabilities API similar to field-caps, and a Rollup-enabled search.
