[BUG] GET {index}/_settings does not list number_of_routing_shards as setting #14199
Description
Describe the bug
Number of routing shards is a user definable setting which is used during splitting of shard to determine valid splits and number of splits possible. The setting itself is persisted in the IndexMetadata.
Although, we can get the value from _cluster/state under the index's metadata as routing_num_shards field, but, it isn't listed while calling GET {index}/_settings. Naturally, users expect it to be present in the output of GET {index}/_settings.

Expected behavior
User should not delve into the _cluster/state to figure out routing_num_shards information. Instead index.routing_number_of_shards should be listed in the {index}/_settings response.
