Body parameters for templates do not work

[honzakral]

Elasticsearch version (bin/elasticsearch --version): 8.6.2

elasticsearch-py version (elasticsearch.__versionstr__): 8.6.2

Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior: some body parameters, that are meant to be passed in template (a required argument) like settings are documented as being accepted by the API calls but they do not actually work as they are included in the body as top level keys which is not supported and results in 400:

BadRequestError(400, 'x_content_parse_exception', '[1:16] [component_template] unknown field [settings]')

Steps to reproduce:

es = Elasticsearch()
es.cluster.put_component_template(name="ttt", settings={"number_of_shards": 1}, template={})

Hey Honza, indeed it looks like the Elasticsearch API specification got this wrong. I've created a PR which removes the incorrectly nested fields for this API request. This will get fixed during the next round of code generation.

For now you can pass the settings field within the template object as is expected by Elasticsearch.
