This commit introduces a new API that manages point-in-times in x-pack
basic. Elasticsearch pit (point in time) is a lightweight view into the
state of the data as it existed when initiated. A search request by
default executes against the most recent point in time. In some cases,
it is preferred to perform multiple search requests using the same point
in time. For example, if refreshes happen between search_after requests,
then the results of those requests might not be consistent as changes
happening between searches are only visible to the more recent point in
time.
A point in time must be opened before being used in search requests. The
`keep_alive` parameter tells Elasticsearch how long it should keep a
point in time around.
```
POST /my_index/_pit?keep_alive=1m
```
The response from the above request includes a `id`, which should be
passed to the `id` of the `pit` parameter of search requests.
```
POST /_search
{
"query": {
"match" : {
"title" : "elasticsearch"
}
},
"pit": {
"id": "46ToAwMDaWR4BXV1aWQxAgZub2RlXzEAAAAAAAAAAAEBYQNpZHkFdXVpZDIrBm5vZGVfMwAAAAAAAAAAKgFjA2lkeQV1dWlkMioGbm9kZV8yAAAAAAAAAAAMAWICBXV1aWQyAAAFdXVpZDEAAQltYXRjaF9hbGw_gAAAAA==",
"keep_alive": "1m"
}
}
```
Point-in-times are automatically closed when the `keep_alive` is
elapsed. However, keeping point-in-times has a cost; hence,
point-in-times should be closed as soon as they are no longer used in
search requests.
```
DELETE /_pit
{
"id" : "46ToAwMDaWR4BXV1aWQxAgZub2RlXzEAAAAAAAAAAAEBYQNpZHkFdXVpZDIrBm5vZGVfMwAAAAAAAAAAKgFjA2lkeQV1dWlkMioGbm9kZV8yAAAAAAAAAAAMAWIBBXV1aWQyAAA="
}
```
