Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Quickwit returns a 400 error response when the bytes param is specified.
Describe the solution you'd like
It should work as per the ES spec
Describe alternatives you've considered
We can get the same info index by index on the /describe API but it doesn't support wildcards
Additional context
We need to analyse precisely the spec of the bytes param in ES first.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked Elasticsearch cat-indices specification for the bytes parameter and compare it with Quickwit's ES _cat API behavior. Then locate the _cat API handling and its tests; done means requests using bytes no longer return 400 and follow the specified behavior, including wildcard indices.
