[ES|QL] Add suggested_cast (#127139)
Adds a `suggested_cast` for unsupported fields based on `original_types` for specific cases: - when a field is mapped to `datetime` and `date_nanos`, suggests `date_nanos` - when a field is mapped to `aggregate_metric_double` and other numerics, suggests `aggregate_metric_double` - when a field is unsupported anywhere, suggests nothing - suggests `keyword` in all other cases For example, a field that is mapped to `aggregate_metric_double` in one index, but `double` in another will have a response like: ``` { "name" : "agg_metric", "type" : "unsupported", "original_types" : [ "aggregate_metric_double", "double" ], "suggested_cast" : "aggregate_metric_double" } ``` A field that is completely unsupported will have a response like: ``` { "name" : "binary_field", "type" : "unsupported", "original_types" : [ "binary" ] } ```
