Nik Everett 82d67dc289 Docs for aggregation functions (ESQL-1268)
This adds docs for all of ESQL's aggregation functions. Hopefully from
here on out we can add the docs as we add new functions.

I've created a few tagged regions in the aggs docs themselves so we can
include them into the ESQL docs.

[[esql-agg-median]]
=== `MEDIAN`
The value that is greater than half of all values and less than half of
all values, also known as the 50% <<esql-agg-percentile>>.

NOTE: Like <<esql-agg-percentile>>, `MEDIAN` is <<esql-agg-percentile-approximate,usually approximate>>.
[WARNING]
====
`MEDIAN` is also {wikipedia}/Nondeterministic_algorithm[non-deterministic].
This means you can get slightly different results using the same data.
