Support 'include_type_name' in RestGetIndicesAction (#37149)
This change adds support for the 'include_type_name' parameter for the
indices.get API. This parameter, which defaults to `false` starting in 7.0,
changes the response to not include the indices type names any longer.

If the parameter is set in the request, we additionally emit a deprecation
warning since using the parameter should be only temporarily necessary while
adapting to the new response format and we will remove it with the next major
version.

Elasticsearch REST API JSON specification

This repository contains a collection of JSON files which describe the Elasticsearch HTTP API.

Their purpose is to formalize and standardize the API, to facilitate development of libraries and integrations.

Example for the "Create Index" API:

{
  "indices.create": {
    "documentation": "http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/indices-create-index.html",
    "methods": ["PUT", "POST"],
    "url": {
      "path": "/{index}",
      "paths": ["/{index}"],
      "parts": {
        "index": {
          "type" : "string",
          "required" : true,
          "description" : "The name of the index"
        }
      },
      "params": {
        "timeout": {
          "type" : "time",
          "description" : "Explicit operation timeout"
        }
      }
    },
    "body": {
      "description" : "The configuration for the index (`settings` and `mappings`)"
    }
  }
}

The specification contains:

  • The name of the API (indices.create), which usually corresponds to the client calls
  • Link to the documentation at http://elastic.co
  • List of HTTP methods for the endpoint
  • URL specification: path, parts, parameters
  • Whether body is allowed for the endpoint or not and its description

The methods and url.paths elements list all possible HTTP methods and URLs for the endpoint; it is the responsibility of the developer to use this information for a sensible API on the target platform.
