This makes the data_stream timestamp field specification optional when
defining a composable template.
When there isn't one specified it will default to `@timestamp`.

This adds a low precendece mapping for the `@timestamp` field with
type `date`.
This will aid with the bootstrapping of data streams as a timestamp
mapping can be omitted when nanos precision is not needed.

Backport of #59293 to 7.x branch.
* Create new data-stream xpack module.
* Move TimestampFieldMapper to the new module,
this results in storing a composable index template
with data stream definition only to work with default
distribution. This way data streams can only be used
with default distribution, since a data stream can
currently only be created if a matching composable index
template exists with a data stream definition.
* Renamed `_timestamp` meta field mapper
to `_data_stream_timestamp` meta field mapper.
* Add logic to put composable index template api
to fail if `_data_stream_timestamp` meta field mapper
isn't registered. So that a more understandable
error is returned when attempting to store a template
with data stream definition via the oss distribution.
In a follow up the data stream transport and
rest actions can be moved to the xpack data-stream module.
