This pull request adds basic documentation for the searchable snapshots REST APIs. The main motivations are to not break downstream projects (see #53871) and to provide a simple example of how to mount a snapshot.
It adds a new "Searchable Snapshots APIs" sub section in the REST APIs section. The "Mount Snapshot API" is the more complete documentation and provides an example of how to create a new index backed by a snapshot.
Those API are experimental and marked as such. I've not seen any mention of the license, except the
[testenv="basic"]
tags that I copied from other doc.
