Restructure query-languages docs files for clarity (#124797)
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.

# Span not query [query-dsl-span-not-query]
Removes matches which overlap with another span query or which are within x tokens before (controlled by the parameter `pre`) or y tokens after (controlled by the parameter `post`) another SpanQuery. Here is an example:
```console
GET /_search
{
"query": {
"span_not": {
"include": {
"span_term": { "field1": "hoya" }
},
"exclude": {
"span_near": {
"clauses": [
{ "span_term": { "field1": "la" } },
{ "span_term": { "field1": "hoya" } }
],
"slop": 0,
"in_order": true
}
}
}
}
}
```
The `include` and `exclude` clauses can be any span type query. The `include` clause is the span query whose matches are filtered, and the `exclude` clause is the span query whose matches must not overlap those returned.
In the above example all documents with the term hoya are filtered except the ones that have *la* preceding them.
Other top level options:
`pre`
: If set the amount of tokens before the include span cant have overlap with the exclude span. Defaults to 0.
`post`
: If set the amount of tokens after the include span cant have overlap with the exclude span. Defaults to 0.
`dist`
: If set the amount of tokens from within the include span cant have overlap with the exclude span. Equivalent of setting both `pre` and `post`.
