Support Index `aliases` in Opensearch as a data source.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, opensearch as a source supports indices but not aliases.

Describe the solution you'd like
Support aliases as well

Describe alternatives you've considered (Optional)
index_name_regex is supported so one can provide the regex pattern, but in case if there are changes in the name of the indices, the user has to modify the index_name_regex accordingly. With support of aliases one can change the indexes an alias points to at any time without modifying the configuration.

If the team, is ok to have this feature. I would be more than happy to work on this.
