Use default stores when none is provided #58

Similar to #56, use a default store for events if no name is provided.

This requires more thought. The backend store could require initialization settings prior to being usable. Creating an index on the fly could lead to a less than desired user experience, and it could cause events/queries to be stored in the wrong places if a user thinks the data is going one store but a typo has it going to a different store. I am leaning toward having the store creation be a methodical process to help ensure a good user experience and a proper configuration.

We should also consider other backends in addition to OpenSearch. For instance, if a MySQL database is used, we likely won't want the plugin to automatically create database structure on the fly. Having the user initialize the plugin using PUT /_plugins/ubi/{store} would be what would create those database tables. I think we should strive to give users the same experience regardless of the type of backend being used.

The changes required by #67 will disallow the use of a default store. This issue will be closed and a new issue to remove the use of a default query store should be created.
