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.
* Made GET mappings consistent, supporting
* /{index}/_mappings/{type}
* /{index}/_mapping/{type}
* /_mapping/{type}
* Added "mappings" in the JSON response to align it with other responses
* Made GET warmers consistent, support /{index}/_warmers/{type} and /_warmer, /_warner/{name}
as well as wildcards and _all notation
* Made GET aliases consistent, support /{index}/_aliases/{name} and /_alias, /_aliases/{name}
as well as wildcards and _all notation
* Made GET settings consistent, added /{index}/_setting/{name}, /_settings/{name}
as well as supportings wildcards in settings name
* Returning empty JSON instead of a 404, if a specific warmer/
setting/alias/type is missing
* Added a ton of spec tests for all of the above
* Added a couple of more integration tests for several features
