Do not skip not available shard exception in search response (#64337)

Today search responses do not report failures for shard that were not available
 for the search.
 So if one shard is not assigned on a search over 5 shards, the
 search response will report:

 ```
 "_shards": {
    "total": 5,
    "successful": 4,
    "skipped": 0,
    "failed": 0
}
```

If all shards are unassigned, we report a generic search phase exception with no cause.
It's easy to spot that `successful` is less than `total` in the response but not reporting
the failure is misleading for users.

This change removes the special handling of not available shards exception in search responses
and treat them as any other failure that could occur on a shard.
These exceptions will count in the `failed` section and will be reported in details in
the `shard_failures` section.
If all shards are unavailable, the search API will now return 404 NOT_FOUND as an indication
that the search failed because it couldn't find any of the resources.

Closes #47700
