This makes the data_stream timestamp field specification optional when
defining a composable template.
When there isn't one specified it will default to `@timestamp`.

This adds a low precendece mapping for the `@timestamp` field with
type `date`.
This will aid with the bootstrapping of data streams as a timestamp
mapping can be omitted when nanos precision is not needed.

Replaces `composable index template` and `composable template` with

`Composable index template` is only used to contrast with legacy index
templates.
