With elastic/elasticsearch#35848, users can now retrieve total hits as an integer when the `rest_total_hits_as_int` query parameter is `true`. This is the default value.
This updates several snippet examples in the Watcher docs that used a workaround to get a total hits integer.
PR #44238 changed several links related to the Elasticsearch search request body API. This updates several places still using outdated links or anchors.
This will ultimately let us remove some redirects related to those link changes.
Prior to this commit the foreach action execution had a hard coded
limit to 100 iterations. This commit allows the max number of
iterations to be a configuration ('max_iterations') on the foreach
action. The default remains 100.
This adds the ability to execute an action for each element that occurs
in an array, for example you could sent a dedicated slack action for
each search hit returned from a search.
There is also a limit for the number of actions executed, which is
hardcoded to 100 right now, to prevent having watches run forever.
The watch history logs each action result and the total number of actions
the were executed.

* Remove Hipchat support from Watcher (#39199)
Hipchat has been shut down and has previously been deprecated in
Watcher (#39160), therefore we should remove support for these actions.
* Add migrate note
Types have been deprecated and this commit removes the documentation
for specifying types in the index action, and search input/transform.

The dot is used as a splitting character internally for looking up
values in the array compare condition, thus the user should use the
script condition in such cases.
This commit changes the format of the `hits.total` in the search response to be an object with
a `value` and a `relation`. The `value` indicates the number of hits that match the query and the
`relation` indicates whether the number is accurate (in which case the relation is equals to `eq`)
or a lower bound of the total (in which case it is equals to `gte`).
This change also adds a parameter called `rest_total_hits_as_int` that can be used in the
search APIs to opt out from this change (retrieve the total hits as a number in the rest response).
Note that currently all search responses are accurate (`track_total_hits: true`) or they don't contain
`hits.total` (`track_total_hits: true`). We'll add a way to get a lower bound of the total hits in a
follow up (to allow numbers to be passed to `track_total_hits`).

Right now, watches fail on runtime, when invalid email addresses are
used.
All those fields can be checked on parsing, if no mustache is used in
any email address template. In that case we can return immediate
feedback, that invalid email addresses should not be specified when
trying to store a watch.
