[TEST] bump benchmark apis version to 2.0.0
Internal: fixed bw comp in ShardSearchTransportRequest

Original indices were introduced in 1.4.0.Beta1 as optional, preceded by a boolean flag that told whether they were empty or not. We have to keep serializing as optional only when reading and writing from/to 1.4.0.Beta1, although the original indices are not optional whenever we go and serialize the request they belong to (which is why the boolean got removed in 1.4.0).
Mapper: Throw exception if null_value is set to null

The mapping parser should throw an exception if "null_value" is set to `null`.

Fixes #7273

```bash
PUT /foo
{
  "mappings": {
    "bar": {
      "properties": {
        "exception": {
          "null_value": null,
          "type": "integer"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
```
```
{
   "error": "MapperParsingException[mapping [bar]]; nested: MapperParsingException[Property [null_value] cannot be null.]; ",
   "status": 400
}
```
Aliases: Throw exception if index is null when creating alias

Fixes a bug where alias creation would allow `null` for index name, which thereby
applied the alias to _all_ indices.  This patch makes the validator throw an
exception if the index is null.

```bash
POST /_aliases
{
   "actions": [
      {
         "add": {
            "alias": "empty-alias",
            "index": null
         }
      }
   ]
}
```
```json
{
   "error": "ActionRequestValidationException[Validation Failed: 1: Alias action [add]: [index] may not be null;]",
   "status": 400
}
```

The reason this bug wasn't caught by the existing tests is because
the old test for nullness only validated against a cluster which had
zero indices.  The null index is translated into "_all", and since
there are no indices, this fails because the index doesn't exist.
 So the test passes.

However, as soon as you add an index, "_all" resolves and you get the
situation described in the original bug report:  null index is
accepted by the alias, resolves to "_all" and gets applied to everything.

Fixes #7976
