Add primary key to elasticsearch_indexed_projects

What does this MR do?

Related to #270090 (closed)

Promotes the unique index from elasticsearch_indexed_projects into a primary key. In GitLab.com production, this table has zero rows. It is in-use a small amount of self-managed installations, but table size is estimated to be < 1000 rows.

Since the table is small enough, it seems relatively safe to transactionally promote the existing index inline, rather than add the complexity of creating a new NOT NULL replacement column, migrating data, etc.

The DELETE is supported by the index, if there are any existing rows where project_id IS NULL: https://explain.depesz.com/s/DEOK

The model already has the primary key explicitly set to use project_id, so this should not alter app behavior: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/ee/app/models/elasticsearch_indexed_project.rb#L7
