Enables support for Cartesian geometries shape type. We still need to
decide how to handle the distance function since it is currently using
the haversine distance formula and returns results in meters, which
doesn't make any sense for Cartesian geometries.

* SQL: ODBC: document newest conn string parameters
This commit adds the documentation for two newly added connection string
parameters: AutoEscapePVA and IndexIncludeFrozen.
It also removes the recommended OSes from the prerequisites list and
places the recommendation distinctively: the unmet prerequisites will
fail the installation, while the driver would install on other OSes than
those recommended.
* address review suggestions.
- adjust phrasing for clearer message.
* Switch from using docvalue_fields to extracting values from _source
where applicable. Doing this means parsing the _source and handling the
numbers parsing just like Elasticsearch is doing it when it's indexing
a document.
* This also introduces a minor limitation: aliases type of fields that
are NOT part of a tree of sub-fields will not be able to be retrieved
anymore. field_caps API doesn't shed any light into a field being an
alias or not and at _source parsing time there is no way to know if a
root field is an alias or not. Fields of the type "a.b.c.alias" can be
extracted from docvalue_fields, only if the field they point to can be
extracted from docvalue_fields. Also, not all fields in a hierarchy of
fields can be evaluated to being an alias.
To be consistent with the `search.max_buckets` default setting,
set the hard limit of the PriorityQueue used for in memory sorting,
when sorting on an aggregate function, to 10000.

In AsciiDoc, `subs="attributes,callouts,macros"` options were required
to render `include-tagged::` in a code block.
With elastic/docs#827, Elasticsearch Reference documentation migrated
from AsciiDoc to Asciidoctor.
In Asciidoctor, the `subs="attributes,callouts,macros"` options are no
longer needed to render `include-tagged::` in a code block. This commit
removes those unneeded options.
Resolves#41589
Remove `common` query and `cutoff_frequency` parameter of
`match` and `multi_match` queries. Both have already been
deprecated for the next 7.x version.

Adds an initial limited implementations of geo features to SQL. This implementation is based on the [OpenGIS® Implementation Standard for Geographic information - Simple feature access](http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/sfs), which is the current standard for GIS system implementation. This effort is concentrate on SQL option AKA ISO 19125-2.
## Queries that are supported as a result of this initial implementation
### Metadata commands
- `DESCRIBE table` - returns the correct column types `GEOMETRY` for geo shapes and geo points.
- `SHOW FUNCTIONS` - returns a list that includes supported `ST_` functions
- `SYS TYPES` and `SYS COLUMNS` display correct types `GEO_SHAPE` and `GEO_POINT` for geo shapes and geo points accordingly.
### Returning geoshapes and geopoints from elasticsearch
- `SELECT geom FROM table` - returns the geoshapes and geo_points as libs/geo objects in JDBC or as WKT strings in console.
- `SELECT ST_AsWKT(geom) FROM table;` and `SELECT ST_AsText(geom) FROM table;`- returns the geoshapes ang geopoints in their WKT representation;
### Using geopoints to elasticsearch
- The following functions will be supported for geopoints in queries, sorting and aggregations: `ST_GeomFromText`, `ST_X`, `ST_Y`, `ST_Z`, `ST_GeometryType`, and `ST_Distance`. In most cases when used in queries, sorting and aggregations, these function are translated into script. These functions can be used in the SELECT clause for both geopoints and geoshapes.
- `SELECT * FROM table WHERE ST_Distance(ST_GeomFromText(POINT(1 2), point) < 10;` - returns all records for which `point` is located within 10m from the `POINT(1 2)`. In this case the WHERE clause is translated into a range query.
## Limitations:
Geoshapes cannot be used in queries, sorting and aggregations as part of this initial effort. In order to fully take advantage of geoshapes we would need to have access to geoshape doc values, which is coming in #37206. `ST_Z` cannot be used on geopoints in queries, sorting and aggregations since we don't store altitude in geo_point doc values.

The CircuitBreaker was introduced as means of preventing a
`StackOverflowException` during the build of the AST by the parser.
The ANTLR4 grammar causes a weird behaviour for a Parser Listener.
The `enterEveryRule()` method is often called with a different parsing
context than the respective `exitEveryRule()`. This makes it difficult
to keep track of the tree's depth, and a custom Map was used as an
attempt of matching the contextes as they are encounter during `enter`
and during `exit` of the rules.
This approach had 2 important drawbacks:
1. It's hard to maintain this custom Map as the grammar changes.
2. The CircuitBreaker could often lead to false positives which caused
valid queries to return an Exception and prevent them from executing.
So, this removes completely the CircuitBreaker which is replaced be
a simple handling of the `StackOverflowException`

Implement a more trivial case of the CASE expression which is
expressed as a traditional function with 2 or 3 arguments. e.g.:
IIF(a = 1, 'one', 'many')
IIF(a > 0, 'positive')

Implement the ANSI SQL CASE expression which provides the if/else
functionality common to most programming languages.
The CASE expression can have multiple WHEN branches and becomes a
powerful tool for SQL queries as it can be used in SELECT, WHERE,
GROUP BY, HAVING and ORDER BY clauses.

After `TIME` SQL data type is introduced, implement
`CURRENT_TIME/CURTIME` functions similarly to CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
that return the system's current time (only, without the date part).
Closes: #40468
A full format for a DATETIME would be:
`2019-03-30T10:20:30.123+10:00` which is 29 chars long.
For DATE a full format would be: `2019-03-30T00:00:00.000+10:00`
which is also 29 chars long.
