This fix ensures that calls to the GET alias/mappings/settings/warmers APIs return the aliases/mappings/settings/warmers object even if there is no content within them.. This make them consistent with the GET Index API docs and the breaking changes in 1.4 docs
Closes#9148
Added base TransportAction class for master read operations that execute locally or not depending on the request class (local flag).
Added support for local flag where missing, in a backwards compatible manner:
- IndicesExistsRequest
- GetAliasesRequest (get alias api, aliases exist api)
- TypesExistsRequest
- GetIndexTemplatesRequest (get template, template exists)
- GetSettingsRequest
- GetRepositoriesRequest
- PendingClusterTasks
Added parsing of the local flag where missing in Rest*Action.
Updated SPEC adding local flag param where missing and added REST tests that contain use of the local flag where it was just added.
