Index create and update methods should map body into json and send to MeiliSearch

Currently, this methods accept a body parameter, look for the requested fields inside of that body and send them in the payload. In this case, the SDK is not necessarily relying in the MeiliSearch API, but manipulating the user data to build a payload before sending it to MeiliSearch. This can introduce new errors that don’t necessarily correspond to the MeiliSearch API errors, and it is not really transparent. It looks like this:

    @staticmethod
    def create(config, **body):
        """Create an index.
        Parameters
        ----------
            body: **kwargs
            Accepts uid, name and primaryKey as parameter.
        Returns
        -------
        index : Index
            an instance of Index containing the information of the newly created index
        Raises
        ------
        HTTPError
            In case of any error found here https://docs.meilisearch.com/references/#errors-status-code
        """
        payload = {}
        uid = body.get('uid', None)
        if uid is not None:
            payload['uid'] = uid
        name = body.get('name', None)
        if name is not None:
            payload['name'] = name
        primary_key = body.get('primary_key', None)
        if primary_key is not None:
            payload['primaryKey'] = primary_key
        return HttpRequests(config).post(config.paths.index, payload)

This methods should only transform the body into a json, and send it as the payload to MeiliSearch. If there is a problem with the json body, errors should be handled by MeiliSearch itself, and not the SDK.

Yes! It was indeed to make it safer but either we check everything we send to MeiliSearch, either we let meilisearch handle the errors. So lets remove it 😄

I close since this part was removed!
