* Use ILM for Watcher history deletion
This commit adds an index lifecycle policy for the `.watch-history-*` indices.
This policy is automatically used for all new watch history indices.
This does not yet remove the automatic cleanup that the monitoring plugin does
for the .watch-history indices, and it does not touch the
`xpack.watcher.history.cleaner_service.enabled` setting.
Relates to #32041
* [DOCS] ILM API Ref edits
* [DOCS] Fixed endpoint for DELETE policy.
* [DOCS] Removed comparison to setting index.lifecycle.name to null.
* [DOCS] Fixed xrefs to explain API.
This PR renames the CRUD APIS for ILM
GET _ilm/<policy>, _ilm -> _ilm/policy/<policy>, _ilm/policy
PUT _ilm/<policy> -> _ilm/policy/<policy>
DELETE _ilm/<policy> -> _ilm/policy/<policy>
closes#34929.
