[DOCS] Fix ignore_unavailable parameter definition (#84071) (#84112)

jrodewig · web-flow · commit bbd31b77da43 · 2022-02-17T08:44:21.000-05:00
The current `ignore_unavailable` definition is a bit misleading. The parameter primarily determines if a request that targets a missing or closed index returns an error. (cherry picked from commit f9a64b2)
