There are so many options to load fields now, it will be important to simplify this in a follow-up effort. Some ideas (not for this PR, just giving context):

I think if we're going to tell people to use this API we should compare everything to it. In other words, I think this information belongs in a section on _source.

Could you explain a bit more what you mean here?

That works for me -- we could also chat offline if it's helpful. I do think that if we advocate always using the fields API, we should stop presenting it as an alternative to _source (and maybe stop returning the _source by default)? We can think about this when considering follow-ups.

This PR adds docs for the `fields` parameter. We now present `fields` as the preferred way to load specific fields in a search, with `docvalue_fields` and `stored_fields` as other options to look into. Source filtering is no longer featured prominently, and its section is moved to the end.
