In a few previous PR's we restructured the ES|QL docs to make it possible to generate them dynamically. This PR just moves a few files around to make the query languages docs easier to work with, and a little more organized like the ES|QL docs. A bit part of this was setting up redirects to the new locations, so other repo's could correctly link to the elasticsearch docs.
