This adds minimal docs around how to the new logs index mode for data
streams (most common use case). This is minimal because logs index mode
is still in tech preview. Minimal docs should allow any interested users
to experiment with the new logs index mode.
* Clarify data stream recommendations and best practices
Our documentation around data streams versus aliases could be interpreted in a way where someone doing *any* updates thinks they need to use an alias with indices instead of a data stream. This commit enhances the documentation around these areas to determine the correct abstraction in a more concrete way. It also tries to clarify that data streams still allow updates to the backing indices, and that a difference is last-write-wins versus first-write-wins.

Uses `my-data-stream` in place of `logs` for data stream examples.
This provides a more intuitive experience for users that copy/paste
their own values into snippets.
Replaces `composable index template` and `composable template` with
`index template` throughout data stream-related docs.
`Composable index template` is only used to contrast with legacy index
templates.
Changes:
* Updates 'Data streams' intro page to focus on problem solution and
benefits.
* Adds 'Data streams overview' page to cover conceptual information,
based on existing content in the 'Data streams' intro.
* Adds diagrams for data streams and search/indexing request examples.
* Moves API jump list and API docs to a new 'Data streams APIs' section.
Links to these APIs will be available through tutorials.
* Add xrefs to existing docs for concepts like generation, write index,
and append-only.
Creates a new page for a 'Set up a data stream' tutorial, based on
existing content in 'Data streams'.
Also adds tutorials for:
* Configuring an ILM policy for a data stream
* Indexing documents to a data stream
* Searching a data stream
* Manually rolling over a data stream
