This set of commits introduce the necessary changes to allow clients to modify an index's write block.

This is needed before maintenance tasks can be performed on the index, for example, triggering a forced segment merging or re-indexing data.

The client can retrieve the settings for an index by calling the #settings method on the index, for example:

index = JayAPI::Elasticsearch::Index.new(client:, index_name:)
settings = index.settings

It is possible for the client to confirm the status of the write block on the index by calling the #write_blocked? method, like so:

settings.blocks.write_blocked?

It is likewise possible to change the write block to make the index's data read-only:

settings.blocks.write = true # Activates the write block, making the index's data read-only
...
settings.blocks.write = false # Disables the write block, allowing data to be indexed again

The class represents the settings for an Elasticsearch Index. It will be
used in an upcoming commit to add a #settings method to the
Elasticsearch::Index class, which will allow the client to retrieve the
index's settings.
The class represents the blocks settings of an Elasticsearch index.

For the moment the class only deals with the write block.

This class will be used in an upcoming commit to complement the
Indices::Settings class to allow the user to access and change an
index's blocks settings.
The method gives the caller access to the index's blocks settings.
The method returns an instance of the Elasticsearch::Indices::Settings
class, which gives the caller access to the index's settings.
