Adds a `ignore_like` parameter to the MLT Query, which simply tells the
algorithm to skip all the terms from the given documents. This could be useful
in order to better guide nearest neighbor search by telling the algorithm to
never explore the space spanned by the given `ignore_like` docs. In essence we
are interested about the characteristic of a given item, but not of the ones
provided by `ignore_like`, thereby forcing the algorithm to go deeper in its
selection of terms. Note that this is different than simply performing a must
not boolean query on the unliked items. The syntax is exactly the same as the
`like` parameter.
Closes#8674
Previously, the only way to specify a document not present in the index was to
use `like_text`. This would usually lead to complex queries made of multiple
MLT queries per document field. This commit adds the ability to the MLT query
to directly specify documents not present in the index (artificial documents).
The syntax is similar to the Percolator API or to the Multi Term Vector API.
Closes#7725
