Our authorization engine has a short-circuit check for the intended
action the takes place before resolving index names (wildcards).
That is, a requests like
GET /_search
GET /logs-*/_search
GET /logs-20210414/_search
will fail fast if the user does not have read permission on any
indices, and we will never resolve the list of indices that the
request targets.
Consequently, it is impossible to provide the list of denied indices
in the error message because that list does not exist (and, in the
case of wildards would be empty even if we did resolve it).
This change updates the access denied message so that it does not
attempt to include the list of indices if the IndicesAccessControl
object has an empty list of denied indices.
Prior to this, we would generate messages such as
action [indices:data/read/search] is unauthorized for user [test]
with roles [test] on indices [],
That "indices []" section is never useful since it does not name any
indices, so it has now been dropped from the message if it is empty.
