search: added the feature to use a stored template at search time.

sometimes there is a need to a stored template when we use search method, especially when our query is very large, it's a good practice to store the query in Elasticsearch first, then use the search method in client with template_id and some parameters to pass it.

Thanks for your support.

The client uses the REST API specification and the Java source as the primary sources of information for the client. While I see that the documentation has the "id" parameter, neither the Search Template API nor the Search API mentions this field. The Render Search Template API mentioned this field, however.

I'm afraid I have to check what's going on here first before adding incompatible or deprecated features to the client.

Thank you

I looked at these links. It seems the java client doesn't support this functionality. however, it is an important and common used feature, especially when the network usage is important for the user of the client.

I looked this up in the Java code and official clients. The Search Template API is a separate API from the Search API. I created issue #977 to track this.
