All three template types (legacy templates, composable index templates
and component templates) are stored in cluster state metadata
(in fields "templates", "index_template" and "component_template").
This cluster state is readable (via GET /_cluster/state) for users who
have the monitor privilege at the cluster level. However, calling the
explicit read endpoints for these templates required the
manage_index_templates privilege.
This change grants access to the template specific retrieval APIs for
all users (or API Keys) with the cluster monitor privilege so that they
can make use of these fit-for-purpose APIs instead of parsing data
directly from cluster metadata
