Add multi-target syntax support to the Move to lifecycle step API #90039

Description

Add Multi-target syntax to the _ilm/move API.

On occasion it has been necessary to _ilm/move many indices (dozens or hundreds) through the same from-step-to-step transition. At present, the API only accepts a single index, so this requires iteration elsewhere (e.g. a bash or powershell script). It would be better if ILM supported that use case directly.
