9.0 backport docs query languages (#125113)
* 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.

* After running tests, we revert a few features

* Fix build.gradle and improved some generating code

* After running tests

* Update x-pack/plugin/esql/build.gradle
