This adds the new `for_export` flag to the following APIs:
- GET _ml/anomaly_detection/<job_id>
- GET _ml/datafeeds/<datafeed_id>
- GET _ml/data_frame/analytics/<analytics_id>
The flag is designed for cloning or exporting configuration objects to later be put into the same cluster or a separate cluster.
The following fields are not returned in the objects:
- any field that is not user settable (e.g. version, create_time)
- any field that is a calculated default value (e.g. datafeed chunking_config)
- any field that would effectively require changing to be of use (e.g. datafeed job_id)
- any field that is automatically set via another Elastic stack process (e.g. anomaly job custom_settings.created_by)

This merges the initial work that adds a framework for performing
machine learning analytics on data frames. The feature is currently experimental
and requires a platinum license. Note that the original commits can be
found in the `feature-ml-data-frame-analytics` branch.
A new set of APIs is added which allows the creation of data frame analytics
jobs. Configuration allows specifying different types of analysis to be performed
on a data frame. At first there is support for outlier detection.
The APIs are:
- PUT _ml/data_frame/analysis/{id}
- GET _ml/data_frame/analysis/{id}
- GET _ml/data_frame/analysis/{id}/_stats
- POST _ml/data_frame/analysis/{id}/_start
- POST _ml/data_frame/analysis/{id}/_stop
- DELETE _ml/data_frame/analysis/{id}
When a data frame analytics job is started a persistent task is created and started.
The main steps of the task are:
1. reindex the source index into the dest index
2. analyze the data through the data_frame_analyzer c++ process
3. merge the results of the process back into the destination index
In addition, an evaluation API is added which packages commonly used metrics
that provide evaluation of various analysis:
- POST _ml/data_frame/_evaluate
