Replicate closed indices #31141

Description

@dakrone

Closed indices currently have the downside that they are not replicated, so it's possible for an index to be closed, then the data lost because the node was terminated without saving the data.

We'd like to be able to close indices to remove any memory overhead of them, but still have the indices available for replication.

Steps to accomplish this (not necessarily in order):

There are a number of currently unresolved questions about this also:

  • Should we continue to allow restoring snapshots into closed indices? closed indices can't currently be snapshotted, so no breakage there
  • What should be done for indices restored from local store that contain an invalid index setting (we currently restore these as "closed")?
  • How should be handle settings that can only be changed when an index is closed and reopened, will they continue to work?
