docs(model): add examples of using `diffIndexes()` to `syncIndexes()`and `diffIndexes()` api docs

+ * You should be careful about running `syncIndexes()` on production applications under heavy load,

+ *     toDrop; // Array of strings containing names of indexes that `syncIndexes()` will drop
+ *     toCreate; // Array of strings containing names of indexes that `syncIndexes()` will create
