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.

# Match phrase query [query-dsl-match-query-phrase]
The `match_phrase` query analyzes the text and creates a `phrase` query out of the analyzed text. For example:
```console
GET /_search
{
"query": {
"match_phrase": {
"message": "this is a test"
}
}
}
```
## Parameters for `<field>` [match-phrase-field-params]
`query`
: (Required) Text, number, boolean value or date you wish to find in the provided `<field>`.
`analyzer`
: (Optional, string) [Analyzer](docs-content://manage-data/data-store/text-analysis.md) used to convert the text in the `query` value into tokens. Defaults to the [index-time analyzer](docs-content://manage-data/data-store/text-analysis/specify-an-analyzer.md#specify-index-time-analyzer) mapped for the `<field>`. If no analyzer is mapped, the indexs default analyzer is used.
`slop`
: (Optional, integer) Maximum number of positions allowed between matching tokens. Defaults to `0`. Transposed terms have a slop of `2`.
`zero_terms_query`
: (Optional, string) Indicates whether no documents are returned if the `analyzer` removes all tokens, such as when using a `stop` filter. Valid values are:
`none` (Default)
: No documents are returned if the `analyzer` removes all tokens.
`all`
: Returns all documents, similar to a [`match_all`](/reference/query-languages/query-dsl/query-dsl-match-all-query.md) query.
A phrase query matches terms up to a configurable `slop` (which defaults to 0) in any order. Transposed terms have a slop of 2.
### Analyzer in the match phrase query [query-dsl-match-query-phrase-analyzer]
The `analyzer` can be set to control which analyzer will perform the analysis process on the text. It defaults to the field explicit mapping definition, or the default search analyzer, for example:
```console
GET /_search
{
"query": {
"match_phrase": {
"message": {
"query": "this is a test",
"analyzer": "my_analyzer"
}
}
}
}
```
