This PR specifies that the rollover index API only checks for met conditions at the time of the API call only.

Previously, users might assume Elasticsearch would continue monitoring for met conditions after the call.

Resolves #35624.

If users are looking for a way to automatically roll over when these conditions are met, we do provide that in Basic+ license levels via ILM, so we might want to point users that way.

Great point @gwbrown. Pushed a new commit to direct users to ILM for automatic rollovers.
