Adds an API to clone an index. This is similar to the index split and shrink APIs, just with the difference that the number of primary shards is kept the same. In case where the filesystem provides hard-linking capabilities, this is a very cheap operation.

Indexing cloning can be done by running POST my_source_index/_clone/my_target_index and it supports the same options as the split and shrink APIs.

Relates to #44128
