This commit modifies the put follow index action to use a
CcrRepository when creating a follower index. It routes
the logic through the snapshot/restore process. A
wait_for_active_shards parameter can be used to configure
how long to wait before returning the response.
For each remote cluster the auto follow coordinator, starts an auto
follower that checks the remote cluster state and determines whether an
index needs to be auto followed. The time since last auto follow is
reported per remote cluster and gives insight whether the auto follow
process is alive.

This commit fixes two issues with the CCR API specification:
- remove the CCR stats endpoint, it is not currently implemented
- fix the documentation links
