[DOCS] Relocate indices module content (#54903) (#57413)
Moves `indices` content from the [Modules][0] section to the [Configuring
Elasticsearch][1] section.

Also removes the [Indices][2] landing page and adds a related redirect.

[[recovery]]
=== Index recovery settings
Peer recovery syncs data from a primary shard to a new or existing shard copy.
Peer recovery automatically occurs when {es}:
* Recreates a shard lost during node failure
* Relocates a shard to another node due to a cluster rebalance or changes to the
<<modules-cluster, shard allocation settings>>
You can view a list of in-progress and completed recoveries using the
<<cat-recovery, cat recovery API>>.

==== Peer recovery settings
`indices.recovery.max_bytes_per_sec`::
(<<cluster-update-settings,Dynamic>>) Limits total inbound and outbound
recovery traffic for each node. Defaults to `40mb`.
+
This limit applies to each node separately. If multiple nodes in a cluster
perform recoveries at the same time, the cluster's total recovery traffic may
exceed this limit.
+
If this limit is too high, ongoing recoveries may consume an excess of bandwidth
and other resources, which can destabilize the cluster.
+
This is a dynamic setting, which means you can set it in each node's
`elasticsearch.yml` config file and you can update it dynamically using the
<<cluster-update-settings,cluster update settings API>>. If you set it
dynamically then the same limit applies on every node in the cluster. If you do
not set it dynamically then you can set a different limit on each node, which is
useful if some of your nodes have better bandwidth than others. For example, if
you are using <<overview-index-lifecycle-management,Index Lifecycle Management>>
then you may be able to give your hot nodes a higher recovery bandwidth limit
than your warm nodes.

==== Expert peer recovery settings
You can use the following _expert_ setting to manage resources for peer
recoveries.
`indices.recovery.max_concurrent_file_chunks`::
(<<cluster-update-settings,Dynamic>>, Expert) Number of file chunk requests
sent in parallel for each recovery. Defaults to `2`.
+
You can increase the value of this setting when the recovery of a single shard
is not reaching the traffic limit set by `indices.recovery.max_bytes_per_sec`.
