Allow to set a setting `index.read_only` on an index, and by setting it to `true`, will cause the index to become readonly (no index/delete operations allowed). The setting can be updated on an index / indices using the index update settings API.

Also, allow to make the cluster read only by setting `cluster.read_only` to true using the cluster update settings API.
