Creates or updates an IP geolocation database configuration.

IMPORTANT: The Maxmind `account_id` shown below requires a license key. Because the license key is sensitive information,
it is stored as a <<secure-settings,secure setting>> in {es} named `ingest.geoip.downloader.maxmind.license_key`. Only
one Maxmind license key is currently allowed per {es} cluster. A valid license key must be in the secure settings in order
to download from Maxmind. The license key setting does not take effect until all nodes are restarted or a
<<cluster-nodes-reload-secure-settings, `reload_secure_settings`>> request is executed.

IMPORTANT: The IPinfo configuration shown below requires a token. Because the token is sensitive information,
it is stored as a <<secure-settings,secure setting>> in {es} named `ingest.ip_location.downloader.ipinfo.token`. Only
one IPinfo token is currently allowed per {es} cluster. A valid token must be in the secure settings in order
to download from IPinfo. The token setting does not take effect until all nodes are restarted or a
<<cluster-nodes-reload-secure-settings, `reload_secure_settings`>> request is executed.
