search_api 8.x-1.20

This is release 1.20 of the Search API module, containing several bug fixes and new features.

Two issues currently in development would furthmore profit from feedback:

• #3199906: Timeout with large database when indexing related entities could fix timeouts when saving entities on large sites, by making the tracking of changes in referenced entities (introduced in #2007692: Changes in related entities don't lead to proper re-indexing) optional. It would be great to get feedback on whether this is an improvement for larger sites. (Making the functionality just work for larger sites, too, would of course be even better, but also more complicated, so having this as a band-aid for now seems reasonable.)
• #3198412: Do rollbacks make sense in the tracker methods? could use some input from other developers, regarding how to handle database errors during tracking operations.
