Backporting #79004 to 7.16 branch.
In cases when indices, aliases and data streams aren't modified then
the indices lookup can be reused.
For example in:
instance, but only primary term or insync allocations may be updated.
No new indices, aliases or data streams are added, so re-building indices
lookup is not necessary.
Additionally the logic that checks when indices lookup can be reused,
this logic also checks the hidden and system flags of indices/datastreams.
In clusters with many indices the cost of building indices lookup is
non-neglectable and should be avoided in this case.
