Title: Introduce internal post recovery state

Introduce a new internal, index shard level, post recovery state, where the shard moves to when its done with recovery. The shard will now move to started only once the cluster state with its respective cluster state level state is started.

This change allow to have more fine grained control over when to allow reads on a shard, resolving potential refresh temporal visibility aspects while indexing and issuign a refresh. By only allowing reads on started shards, and making sure we refresh right before we move to started
