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 Index
The get index API allows to retrieve information about one or more indexes.
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /twitter
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[setup:twitter]
The above example gets the information for an index called `twitter`. Specifying an index,
alias or wildcard expression is required.
The get index API can also be applied to more than one index, or on
all indices by using `_all` or `*` as index.
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>>.
