Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?

We already support indexing symbols on matviews, but only after view is created. It would be nice to have them available also during matview creation. Note when we add this, the show create statement will need to be updated as well

Research direction
Review the existing implementation of index creation on matviews after creation (PR #5961) and extend it to support index creation during matview creation. Also update the SHOW CREATE VIEW statement accordingly.
