Title: [ENGINE] Flush IndexWriter to disk  on close and shutdown

Today we trash everything that has been indexed but not flushed to disk
if the engine is closed. This might not be desired if we shutting down a
node for restart / upgrade or if we close / archive an index. In such a
case we would like to flush the transaction log and commit everything to
disk. This commit adds a flag to the close method that is set on close
and shutdown but not when we remove the shard due to relocations.
