This commit adds the ability to specify exclusion patterns in Auto-Follow patterns.
This allows excluding indices that match any of the inclusion patterns and also match
some of the exclusion patterns giving more fine grained control in scenarios where this is important.

Today when creating a follower index via the put follow API, or via an
auto-follow pattern, it is not possible to specify settings overrides
for the follower index. Instead, we copy all of the leader index
settings to the follower. Yet, there are cases where a user would want
some different settings on the follower index such as the number of
replicas, or allocation settings. This commit addresses this by allowing
the user to specify settings overrides when creating follower index via
manual put follower calls, or via auto-follow patterns. Note that not
all settings can be overrode (e.g., index.number_of_shards) so we also
have detection that prevents attempting to override settings that must
be equal between the leader and follow index. Note that we do not even
allow specifying such settings in the overrides, even if they are
specified to be equal between the leader and the follower
index. Instead, the must be implicitly copied from the leader index, not
explicitly set by the user.
This commit is our first introduction to cross-cluster replication
docs. In this commit, we introduce the cross-cluster replication API
docs. We also add skelton docs for additional content that will be added
in a series of follow-up commits.
