Add breaking change docs for #92820 (#99849)
In #92820 we adjusted the indices resolve API to use the
`IndexNameExpressionResolver` to align its behaviour with other similar
APIs, but this was a subtle breaking change in its behaviour when there
were no matching indices. This adds a note in the docs to record this
change in behaviour.

=== Breaking changes
Ingest Node::
* Making `JsonProcessor` stricter so that it does not silently drop data {es-pull}93179[#93179] (issue: {es-issue}92898[#92898])
Indices APIs::
* The <<indices-resolve-index-api>> API implementation was adjusted to use the
same index resolution mechanism as other similar APIs, adding support for the
`ignore_unavailable` and `allow_no_indices` flags and the `_all` meta-index. If
there are no matching indices then earlier versions of this API would return an
empty result with the `200 OK` HTTP response code, but from 8.7.0 onwards by
default it returns an `IndexNotFoundException` with the `404 Not Found` HTTP
response code. To recover the old behaviour, add the query parameter
`?ignore_unavailable=true` ({es-pull}92820[#92820]).
