Do not request "search_pipelines" metrics by default in NodesInfoRequ…

…est (#12497)

This commit introduces a breaking change:

NodesInfoRequest does not request all metrics by default.

There are metrics there are not included in the default set of metrics. Right
now "search_pipelines" metric is not included in the default set of metrics.
