Allow _doc as a type. (#27816)
Allowing `_doc` as a type will enable users to make the transition to 7.0
smoother since the index APIs will be `PUT index/_doc/id` and `POST index/_doc`.
This also moves most of the documentation to `_doc` as a type name.

== Get Mapping
The get mapping API allows to retrieve mapping definitions for an index or
index/type.
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /twitter/_mapping/_doc
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[setup:twitter]

=== Multiple Indices and Types
The get mapping API can be used to get more than one index or type
mapping with a single call. General usage of the API follows the
following syntax: `host:port/{index}/_mapping/{type}` where both
`{index}` and `{type}` can accept a comma-separated list of names. To
get mappings for all indices you can use `_all` for `{index}`. The
following are some examples:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_mapping/_doc
GET /_all/_mapping/_doc
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[setup:twitter]
If you want to get mappings of all indices and types then the following
two examples are equivalent:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_all/_mapping
GET /_mapping
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[setup:twitter]
