James Rodewig a63f60b776 [DOCS] Remove heading offsets for REST APIs (#44568)
Several files in the REST APIs nav section are included using
:leveloffset: tags. This increments headings (h2 -> h3, h3 -> h4, etc.)
in those files and removes the :leveloffset: tags.

Other supporting changes:
* Alphabetizes top-level REST API nav items.
* Change 'indices APIs' heading to 'index APIs.'
* Changes 'Snapshot lifecycle management' heading to sentence case.

=== Get Mapping
The get mapping API allows to retrieve mapping definitions for an index or
index/type.
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /twitter/_mapping
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[setup:twitter]
NOTE: Before 7.0.0, the 'mappings' definition used to include a type name. Although mappings
in responses no longer contain a type name by default, you can still request the old format
through the parameter include_type_name. For more details, please see <<removal-of-types>>.

==== Multiple Indices
The get mapping API can be used to get more than one index with a
single call. General usage of the API follows the following syntax:
`host:port/{index}/_mapping` where `{index}` 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 /twitter,kimchy/_mapping
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[setup:twitter]
// TEST[s/^/PUT kimchy\nPUT book\n/]
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]
