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.

=== cat snapshots
The `snapshots` command shows all snapshots that belong to a specific repository.
To find a list of available repositories to query, the command `/_cat/repositories` can be used.
Querying the snapshots of a repository named `repo1` then looks as follows.
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_cat/snapshots/repo1?v&s=id
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[s/^/PUT \/_snapshot\/repo1\/snap1?wait_for_completion=true\n/]
// TEST[s/^/PUT \/_snapshot\/repo1\/snap2?wait_for_completion=true\n/]
// TEST[s/^/PUT \/_snapshot\/repo1\n{"type": "fs", "settings": {"location": "repo\/1"}}\n/]
Which looks like:
[source,txt]
--------------------------------------------------
id status start_epoch start_time end_epoch end_time duration indices successful_shards failed_shards total_shards
snap1 FAILED 1445616705 18:11:45 1445616978 18:16:18 4.6m 1 4 1 5
snap2 SUCCESS 1445634298 23:04:58 1445634672 23:11:12 6.2m 2 10 0 10
--------------------------------------------------
// TESTRESPONSE[s/FAILED/SUCCESS/ s/14456\d+/\\d+/ s/\d+(\.\d+)?(m|s|ms)/\\d+(\\.\\d+)?(m|s|ms)/]
// TESTRESPONSE[s/\d+:\d+:\d+/\\d+:\\d+:\\d+/]
// TESTRESPONSE[s/1 4 1 5/\\d+ \\d+ \\d+ \\d+/]
// TESTRESPONSE[s/2 10 0 10/\\d+ \\d+ \\d+ \\d+/]
// TESTRESPONSE[non_json]
Each snapshot contains information about when it was started and stopped.
Start and stop timestamps are available in two formats.
The `HH:MM:SS` output is simply for quick human consumption.
The epoch time retains more information, including date, and is machine sortable if the snapshot process spans days.
