Batch from java issues

Fixes provided in this PR:

• 727 added remove_binary to AttachmentProcessor
• 242 made NodeInfoPath and seed_hosts optional to make the method .nodes().info() work properly, also made initial_master_nodes a string array, since the documentation allows for both a single string and an array, also added additional properties for NodeInfoDiscover
• 315 fixed description for update by query
• 299 allowed custom options for IndexSettings Similarity (via custom plugin)

The backport to 7.17 failed:

The process '/usr/bin/git' failed with exit code 1

To backport manually, run these commands in your terminal:

# Fetch latest updates from GitHub
git fetch
# Create a new working tree
git worktree add .worktrees/backport-7.17 7.17
# Navigate to the new working tree
cd .worktrees/backport-7.17
# Create a new branch
git switch --create backport-2412-to-7.17
# Cherry-pick the merged commit of this pull request and resolve the conflicts
git cherry-pick -x --mainline 1 d792c326a393769cc783482cf209435750d45029
# Push it to GitHub
git push --set-upstream origin backport-2412-to-7.17
# Go back to the original working tree
cd ../..
# Delete the working tree
git worktree remove .worktrees/backport-7.17

Then, create a pull request where the base branch is 7.17 and the compare/head branch is backport-2412-to-7.17.
