[OAK-3534] Endless reindexing of async if no provider

• Type: Bug

Description

Placeholder issue for the moment. Require more investigations and a
test case.

It seems that if an index definition has reindex=true but no index
provider is able to serve the index type, the re-indexing process will
retry endlessly.

Possible way to reproduce

• create an initial content with an index definition of type lucene
  and reindex=true
• start the repository without the lucene IndexProvider or having it
  disabled.
• see in the logs that the reindex will always re-index from scratch
  as there are no checkpoints.

Should the reindex fail and stop after some attempts?
