Slack no longer recommends the legacy "integrations" setup (https://api.slack.com/legacy/custom-integrations/incoming-webhooks). Updated documentation to reference https://api.slack.com/messaging/webhooks instead.
Removed screenshots from our documentation related to Slack setup. We should avoid these screenshots (and simply point to Slack documentation) for Slack may change the instructions/their UI in the future.
Also added a short note on the use case of notifying multiple Slack channels.

This PR adds deprecation warnings when accessing System Indices via the REST layer. At this time, these warnings are only enabled for Snapshot builds by default, to allow projects external to Elasticsearch additional time to adjust their access patterns.
Deprecation warnings will be triggered by all REST requests which access registered System Indices, except for purpose-specific APIs which access System Indices as an implementation detail a few specific APIs which will continue to allow access to system indices by default:
- `GET _cluster/health`
- `GET {index}/_recovery`
- `GET _cluster/allocation/explain`
- `GET _cluster/state`
- `POST _cluster/reroute`
- `GET {index}/_stats`
- `GET {index}/_segments`
- `GET {index}/_shard_stores`
- `GET _cat/[indices,aliases,health,recovery,shards,segments]`
Deprecation warnings for accessing system indices take the form:
```
this request accesses system indices: [.some_system_index], but in a future major version, direct access to system indices will be prevented by default
```
Adds an example snippet for creating a `_doc` payload field with the
Watcher `index` action.

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 This updates several places still using outdated links or anchors.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.
