The indexing buffer on a node (default: 10% of the JVM heap) is now a "shared pool" across all shards on that node. This way, shards doing intense indexing can use much more than other shards doing only light indexing, and only once the sum of all indexing buffers across all shards exceeds the node's indexing buffer will we ask shards to move recently indexed documents to segments on disk.
Warmers are now barely useful and will be removed in 3.0. Note that this only
removes the warmer API and query-based warmers. We still have warmers internally
for eg. global ordinals.

* Added percolator field mapper that extracts the query terms and indexes these terms with the percolator query.
* At percolate time these extracted terms are used to query percolator queries that are like to be evaluated. This can significantly cut down the time it takes to percolate. Whereas before all percolator queries were evaluated if they matches with the document being percolated.
* Changes made to percolator queries are no longer immediately visible, a refresh needs to happen before the changes are visible.
* By default the percolate api only returns upto 10 matches instead of returning all matching percolator queries.
* Made percolate more modular, so that it is easier to add unit tests.
* Added unit tests for the percolator.

Adds task manager class and enables all activities to register with the task manager. Currently, the immutable Transport*Activity class represents activity itself shared across all requests. This PR adds and an additional structure Task that keeps track of currently running requests and can be used to communicate with these requests using TransportTaskAction.

When specifying a string field, you can either do:
```
{
"foo": "bar"
}
```
or
```
{
"foo": {
"value": "bar",
"boost": 42
}
}
```
The latter option is now removed.
Closes#15388
Today we throttle recoveries only for incoming recoveries. Nodes that have a lot
of primaries can get overloaded due to too many recoveries. To still keep that at bay
we limit the number of threads that are sending files to the target to overcome this problem.
The right solution here is to also throttle the outgoing recoveries that are today unbounded on
the master and don't start the recovery until we have enough resources on both source and target nodes.
The concurrency aspects of the recovery source also added a lot of complexity and additional threadpools
that are hard to configure. This commit removes the concurrent streamns notion completely and sends files
in the thread that drives the recovery simplifying the recovery code considerably.
Outgoing recoveries are not throttled on the master via a allocation decider.
Today we have two variants of translogs for indexing. We only recommend the buffered
one which also has a 20% advantage in indexing speed. This commit removes the option and defaults
to the buffered case. It also hard-wires the translog buffer to 8kb instead of 64kb. We used to
adjust that buffer based on if the shard is active or not, this code has also been removed and
instead we just keep an 8kb buffer arround.
This commit removes `index.translog.flush_threshold_ops` and `index.translog.disable_flush`
in favor of `index.translog.flush_threshold_size`. The number of operations is meaningless by itself and
can easily be turned into a size value with knowledge of the data. Disabling the flush is only useful in
tests and we can set the size value to a really high value. If users really need to do this they can
also apply a very high value like `1PB`.
