Returns defaults and limits used by machine learning.

==== Request

`GET _xpack/ml/info`

meaning that the defaults should be used.  This endpoint may be used to find out
what those defaults are.

privileges to use this API.  The `machine_learning_admin` and `machine_learning_user`
roles provide these privileges. For more information, see
{stack-ov}/security-privileges.html[Security Privileges] and
