Goal is to provide API endpoints for the creation of Kibana index patterns and index templates. These will be implemented in the Kibana server.

Here is a rough initial stab at what the endpoints might look like:

POST /api/kibana/ingest
Create a new index pattern and template.

Requires the JSON formatted index pattern in the body of the request.
Properties include:

• title: String (Required)
• timeFieldName: String (optional, only needed for time based index patterns)
• intervalName: String
• fields: Object (optional, auto-generated if missing and existing indexes match pattern)
• fieldFormatMap: Object (optional, map of non-default formatters to user for fields)

Need a place for mapping info. This might go in the fields object, or it might go in a separate property like fieldFormatMap

Title will be used as the document ID.

DELETE /api/kibana/ingest/{id}
Delete an index pattern and its template.
