The `create` privilege can be misleading based on a user's
interpretation of the meaning of the privilege. The create privilege
grants the user access to the index api and the put mapping api. The
index api allows for a document to be created but it also allows for
an existing document to be overwritten (assuming the CREATE operation
type is not used). However, the name `create` implies the ability to
only create a document and not be able to modify an existing document,
which may not be clear to users unfamiliar with the index API.
This commit adds a small note under the privilege in the documentation
that should add some clarity to the operations allowed by this
privilege.
