Index patterns APIs

[preview] This functionality is in technical preview and may be changed or removed in a future release. Elastic will work to fix any issues, but features in technical preview are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features. Manage Kibana index patterns.

Do not write documents directly to the .kibana index. When you write directly to the .kibana index, the data becomes corrupted and permanently breaks future Kibana versions.

Use the index patterns API for managing Kibana index patterns instead of lower-level saved objects API.
