Adds index action as built-in action (#41592) (#41932)

* Adds index action as built-in action

* resolve PR comments

- moved `nullableType` to a module so it can be reused across action types
- changed index action param `body` to `documents`, and it's no longer an
  object or array, it's only an array
- rename index action param `execution_time_field` to `executionTimeField`
- remove index action param `doc_id` as it's no longer relevant (only useful
  in the single document story previously)
