This PR creates a new top-level section that will contain documentation for the rollup and transform features.

Related to #46718

The addition of transform (and perhaps reindexing) information to this section will occur in subsequent PRs.

Preview: http://elasticsearch_46882.docs-preview.app.elstc.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/data-rollup-transform.html

Left a few comments. The important one is that I think the anchor should be tweaked.

Since this is the name of the top-level page, I think it would be better to be more verbose for SEO purposes. Maybe [data-rollup-transform]?

I'd match the revised anchor-text.

Are the slashes consistent with other APIs?

Structurally, I think it would be better if we could incorporate the "overview" material into the top level section landing pages, instead of just making them link farms. Or make the top-level headings just landmarks and not actually navigable links in the TOC (as @gchaps suggested). Then this content would have the "overview" keyword for SEO, but we'd get rid of the extra click to get to meaningful content.) For now, this is consistent with other topics.

I agree that this will be worth discussing in more detail as we roll out the reorg and strive for consistency, but for now I'll leave as-is.

"Rollup store historical data" is clunky. Rollup stores? Roll up to store? Or maybe "Storing historical data at reduced granularity"? (The pattern here of repeating Rollup in every heading kind seems like overkill.)

I've updated it to match the other sections, but I agree this page could do with an edit. Will defer and just stick to structural changes here, however.

Ultimately, I think this is an example of a place we don't want to use the "Getting started" terminology.
