[Docs] Add more details to the index option docs (#92606)
Docs around the `index` option were not very precise. The term "typical" was used without describing for which fields querying is still available when `index: false` is set. But more precise docs existed in the `doc_values` documentation found here for the index option: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/doc-values.html This docs were mostly copied over.

Allow docvalues-only search on number types (#82409)
Allows searching on number field types (long, short, int, float, double, byte, half_float) when those fields are not
indexed (index: false) but just doc values are enabled.

This enables searches on archive data, which has access to doc values but not index structures. When combined with
searchable snapshots, it allows downloading only data for a given (doc value) field to quickly filter down to a select set
of documents.

Note to reviewers:

I have split isSearchable into two separate methods isIndexed and isSearchable on MappedFieldType. The former one is
about whether actual indexing data structures have been used (postings or points), and the latter one on whether you
can run queries on the given field (e.g. used by field caps). For number field types, queries are now allowed whenever
points are available or when doc values are available (i.e. searchability is expanded).

Relates #81210 and #52728

a0c83c4511 Minor doc changes to clarify mapping index param for string type (#22652)
* Grammatical correction

* Add note for legacy string mapping type

* Update truncate token filter to not mention the keyword tokenizer

The advice predates the existence of the keyword field
