Please describe the current behavior? Current configuration for AutoRegisterTemplate in ElasticsearchTemplateProvider allows adding only list of alias names. And there is no way to set properties for autogenerated template aliases. As properties are set to an empty object

ElasticsearchTemplateProvider.cs

            //If index alias or aliases are specified
            if (options.IndexAliases?.Length > 0)
                foreach (var alias in options.IndexAliases)
                {
                    //Added blank object for alias to make look like this in JSON:
                    //"alias_1" : {}
                    aliases.Add(alias, new object());
                }

Please describe the expected behavior? Change IndexAliases configuration so the properties like "is_write_index" can be set. Elastic aliases

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce the issue and if possible a minimal demo of the problem

I m open for PRs, although this looks like it can be a breaking change. Not a big issue as long as we bump the version and have a changelog. Would you mind working this out?

I ended up using low level client to achieve this. In a foreseeable future I won't be able to implement this myself, if at some point I'll have a free time I'll pick it up if no one else does.
