Currently, all the indices metadata is stored in a single file called _state/metadata. Separate it to store each index metadata under its own index location. We still need to store global metadata state (index templates and persistent settings), store it under global file.

When starting the node it will automatically upgrade from the previous format to the new one, and backup the current one.
