Update Index template loading guide to use the correct endpoint (#29869)

kvch · mergify-bot · commit 17c2a570ebb5 · 2022-01-17T16:06:48.000Z
This PR updates the documentation for loading index templates manually. The endpoint used in the documentation was outdated. That lead to some confusion. (cherry picked from commit 055798a)
