Add "persistence" types (data, cache, or index) to tables, and tweak what "storage dump" dumps
Summary:
Ref T13000. This marks each table as either "data" (normal data), "cache" (automatically rebuilt, no need to ever dump) or "index" (can be manually rebuilt).
By default, `bin/storage dump` dumps data and index tables, but not cache tables.
With `--no-indexes`, it dumps only data tables. Indexes can be rebuilt after a restore with `bin/search index --all ...`.
Test Plan:
- Ran `--no-indexes` and normal dumps with `--trace`, verified that cache and index (former case) or cache only (latter case) tables were dumped with `--no-data`.
- Verified dump has the same number of `CREATE TABLE` statements as before the changes.
- Reviewed persistence tags in the web UI (note Ferret engine tables are "Index"):

Skipping Indexes
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
By default, `bin/storage dump` does not dump all of the data in the database:
|
||||
it skips some caches which can be rebuilt automatically and do not need to be
|
||||
backed up. Some of these caches are very large, so the size of the dump may
|
||||
be significantly smaller than the size of the databases.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a large amount of data, you can specify `--no-indexes` when taking
|
||||
a database dump to skip additional tables which contain search indexes. This
|
||||
will reduce the size (and increase the speed) of the backup. This is an
|
||||
advanced option which most installs will not benefit from.
|
||||
|
||||
This index data can be rebuilt after a restore, but will not be rebuilt
|
||||
automatically. If you choose to use this flag, you must manually rebuild
|
||||
indexes after a restore (for details, see ((reindex))).
