Automate index creation when enabling Elasticsearch integration

What does this MR do?

Issue #239270 (closed)

Automatically create an empty Elasticsearch index if one doesn't exist before updating Advanced Search settings.

Minor update to the settings UI to alert the user that an empty index will be created if one doesn't exist.

Documentation has been updated to reflect new instructions on how to enable Advanced Search + what the Enable Elasticsearch Indexing checkbox option now does.
