Allow searches to fail if they are missing results eg from a timeout or a failure to execute on at least one shard. The allow_partial_search_results flag is a new parameter on search headers and a cluster-level setting controls default behaviour of searches where no preference is passed in the request. In future versions we will change the cluster default setting to throw errors instead of returning partial results.
This initial PR is currently missing support for checking red indices (missing shards) and docs - submitting here for initial Jenkins testing.
Closes #27435
