James Rodewig a63f60b776 [DOCS] Remove heading offsets for REST APIs (#44568)
Several files in the REST APIs nav section are included using
:leveloffset: tags. This increments headings (h2 -> h3, h3 -> h4, etc.)
in those files and removes the :leveloffset: tags.

Other supporting changes:
* Alphabetizes top-level REST API nav items.
* Change 'indices APIs' heading to 'index APIs.'
* Changes 'Snapshot lifecycle management' heading to sentence case.

Minor tweaks to reroute documentation (#30246)
Add yet another warning about data loss to the introductory paragraph about the
unsafe commands. Also move this paragraph next to the details of the unsafe
commands, below the section on the `retry_failed` flag.

Be more specific about how to use the URI parameters and in-body flags.

Clarify statements about when rebalancing takes place (i.e. it respects
settings)

Resolves #16113.

Nik Everett 0e98c9107a Docs: CONSOLEify some more docs
These need to be CONSOLEified *now* because we're starting to
require Content-Type headers and they didn't have any.

* cluster/reroute: Marked as CONSOLE but skipped because the docs
build runs with a single node.
* docs/bulk: Marked as NOTCONSOLE because the snippets describe
either examples or `curl` commands. Fixed the `curl` command to
include the `Content-Type` header.
* query-dsl/terms-query: Marked as CONSOLE.
* search/request/rescore: Marked as CONSOLE. Fixed deprecated
syntax.

Simon Willnauer 35e705877b Limit retries of failed allocations per index (#18467)
Today if a shard fails during initialization phase due to misconfiguration, broken disks,
missing analyzers, not installed plugins etc. elasticsaerch keeps on trying to initialize
or rather allocate that shard. Yet, in the worst case scenario this ends in an endless
allocation loop. To prevent this loop and all it's sideeffects like spamming log files over
and over again this commit adds an allocation decider that stops allocating a shard that
failed more than N times in a row to allocate. The number or retries can be configured via
`index.allocation.max_retry` and it's default is set to `5`. Once the setting is updated
shards with less failures than the number set per index will be allowed to allocate again.

Internally we maintain a counter on the UnassignedInfo that is reset to `0` once the shards
has been started.

Lee Hinman e53a43800e Add `explain` flag support to the reroute API
By specifying the `explain` flag, an explanation for the reason a
command can or cannot be executed is returned. No allocation commands
are actually performed.

Returns a response similar to:

{
  "state": {...cluster state...},
  "acknowledged": true,
  "explanations" : [ {
    "command" : "cancel",
      "parameters" : {
        "index" : "decide",
        "shard" : 0,
        "node" : "IvpoKRdtRiGrQ_WKtt4_4w",
        "allow_primary" : false
      },
      "decisions" : [ {
        "decider" : "cancel_allocation_command",
        "decision" : "YES",
        "explanation" : "..."
        } ]
     }, {
      "command" : "move",
      "parameters" : {
        "index" : "decide",
        "shard" : 0,
        "from_node" : "IvpoKRdtRiGrQ_WKtt4_4w",
        "to_node" : "IvpoKRdtRiGrQ_WKtt4_4w"
       },
       "decisions" : [ {
         "decider" : "same_shard",
         "decision" : "NO",
         "explanation" : "shard cannot be allocated on same node [IvpoKRdtRiGrQ_WKtt4_4w] it already exists on"
       },
       etc
       ]
  }]
}

also removes AllocationExplanation from cluster state
