This replaces the `script` docs for bucket aggregations with runtime
fields. We expect runtime fields to be nicer to work with because you
can also fetch them or filter on them. We expect them to be faster
because their don't need this sort of `instanceof` tree:

Backport of #47468 to 7.x
This PR adds a new metric aggregation called string_stats that operates on string terms of a document and returns the following:
min_length: The length of the shortest term
max_length: The length of the longest term
avg_length: The average length of all terms
distribution: The probability distribution of all characters appearing in all terms
entropy: The total Shannon entropy value calculated for all terms
This aggregation has been implemented as an analytics plugin.
