This commit introduces system index types that will be used to
differentiate behavior. Previously system indices were all treated the
same regardless of whether they belonged to Elasticsearch, a stack
component, or one of our solutions. Upon further discussion and
analysis this decision was not in the best interest of the various
teams and instead a new type of system index was needed. These system
indices will be referred to as external system indices. Within external
system indices, an option exists for these indices to be managed by
Elasticsearch or to be managed by the external product.

In order to represent this within Elasticsearch, each system index will
have a type and this type will be used to control behavior.

Closes #67383
Backport of #68919
