Restoring from a snapshot (which is a particular form of recovery) does not currently take recovery throttling into account
(i.e. the `indices.recovery.max_bytes_per_sec` setting). While restores are subject to their own throttling (repository
setting `max_restore_bytes_per_sec`), this repository setting does not allow for values to be configured differently on a
per-node basis. As restores are very similar in nature to peer recoveries (streaming bytes to the node), it makes sense to
configure throttling in a single place.
The `max_restore_bytes_per_sec` setting is also changed to default to unlimited now, whereas previously it was set to
`40mb`, which is the current default of `indices.recovery.max_bytes_per_sec`). This means that no behavioral change
will be observed by clusters where the recovery and restore settings were not adapted.

This commit clarifies that the `expand_wildcards` option (as well as other
`IndicesOptions` parameters) can be used with the Create Snapshot API, but that
they must be in the body of the request.
Also clarifies the connection between `expand_wildcards` and hidden indices as
it relates to snapshots.
Changes:
* Condenses and relocates the `docvalue_fields` example to the 'Run a search'
page.
* Adds docs for the `docvalue_fields` request body parameter.
* Updates several related xrefs.

Several APIs support options that can be specified as a query parameter or a
request body parameter.
Currently, this is documented using notes, which can get rather lengthy. This
replaces those multiple notes with a single note and a footnote.
As discussed at https://elastic.slack.com/archives/C0D1XEXEZ/p1586939752242300 is it not possible to restore snapshots taken on newer versions into clusters running lower versions. For example, a snapshot created in a 7.6.0 cluster cannot be restored on a 7.5.0 cluster. This needs to be documented.
Makes following changes to better clarify docs for read-only URL
snapshot repositories:
* Adds an example snippet for registering a URL repository
* Rewrites the protocols paragraph
* Adds a note to explicitly point out that only URLs using the `ftp`,
`http`, `http`, and `jar` protocols do not need the `path.repo`
setting.
Fixes#16280
Previously, the restore API snippet included a `include_global_state` value of `true`.
Some users copy and paste the code example verbatim, updating only the index and
snapshot value names. Running the snippet could inadvertently wipe out a
cluster's current ILM policies, index templates, and ingest pipelines.
This change updates the snippet to use a `include_global_state` value of
`false`. It also adds a callout that better describes impacts of
using a `include_global_state` argument of `true`.

Changes:
* Adds API reference docs for the delete snapshot repo API.
* Corrects an error in the delete snapshot repo API spec. Comma-separated
repository names are not supported.
* Relocates the existing delete snapshot repo API example docs.
Added an example of the `include_aliases` parameter to the code block for better visibility. Previously this was only mentioned at the end of the preceding paragraph, and was easily missed.
Adds deleting multiple snapshots in one go without significantly changing the mechanics of snapshot deletes otherwise.
This change does not yet allow mixing snapshot delete and abort. Abort is still only allowed for a single snapshot delete by exact name.
