This commit is a first step towards a following engine
implementation. Future work will build on this by using this engine to
execute operations on a following engine from another engine (typically
a remote leader engine) that has already assigned sequence numbers to
such operations.

This commit sets an index setting for the size of a translog generation
and increases the number of documents indexed to increase the chance of
multiple generations being present when testing getting operations
between two sequence numbers.
This commit fixes an off-by-one error in the shard changes action test
for getting operations between two sequence numbers. The off-by-one
error arises because sequence numbers are indexed from zero, so if N
documents are indexed then the maximum sequence number starting from
zero would be N - 1.
* xdcr: Add an internal api to read translog operations between a sequence number range.
This api will be used later by the persistent task for the following index to pull data from the leader index.
The persistent task can fetch the global checkpoint from the shard stats for each primary shard of the leader index.
Based on the global checkpoint of the primary shards of the following index, the persistent task can send several
calls to the internal api added in this commit to replicate changes from follow index to leader index in a batched manner.
This commit utilizes the pluggable engine factory feature in core to
introduce a pluggable engine factory for XDCR. For now this is only a
skeleton implementation to proof out the pluggable engine factory
concept. Future work will implement a genuine following engine for XDCR.

This commit introduces the container class for CCR functionality. Future
work will expose more specific CCR functionality to the X-Pack plugin
through this class.
