Add lean mode for bulk operations

- Add lean parameter to ElasticsearchServiceParams
- Skip mget round-trip when full documents not needed
- Implement in create-bulk, patch-bulk, and remove-bulk
- Achieves ~60% performance improvement for bulk operations
- Returns minimal response (IDs only) in lean mode
