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.

Can take any field type as input and the result is always a `long` not matter
the input type.
NOTE: There isn't yet a `COUNT(*)`. Please count a single valued field if you
need a count of rows.
