GET /_cat/templatesretrieves the whole cluster metadata fromthe master, which includes all sorts of unnecessary junk and consumes
significant resources. This commit reimplements these endpoints using
GetIndexTemplatesActionandGetComposableIndexTemplateActionwhichare much more efficient.
The docs for this API indicate that it accepts a comma-separated list of
template names/patterns of the form
GET /_cat/templates/name1,name2but in fact today it only accepts a single name or pattern. This commit
also adds support for multiple names/patterns as the docs claim.
