Prohibit creation of automatic ES indices

Dmitry Gruzd requested to merge 13717-es-indexing-without-index into master

What does this MR do?

When no index exists yet, yet we turned on "Elasticsearch Indexing", any index call would automatically create an index. However that index does not honor GitLab's setting and mappings, making that index useless.

To fix the problem we started to warn users and we disable "Index all project" button if there is no index available.

We discussed disabling auto_create_index, but it's still not clear when we should do that.
