Ilm disable template (#3610)

* useILM will prevent index template creation

The index template should be created by es-rollover. Without this, it
was mandatory to use --es.create-index-templates=false with
--es.use-ilm, otherwise it would override the index template with an
empty lifecycle.name thus preventing the rollover to work
