Add Normalize Pipeline Aggregation (#56399) (#56792)

This aggregation will perform normalizations of metrics for a given series of data in the form of bucket values. The aggregations supports the following normalizations - rescale 0-1 - rescale 0-100 - percentage of sum - mean normalization - z-score normalization - softmax normalization To specify which normalization is to be used, it can be specified in the normalize agg's `normalizer` field. For example: ``` { "normalize": { "buckets_path": <>, "normalizer": "percent" } } ```

+=== Normalize Aggregation
+
+A parent pipeline aggregation which calculates the specific normalized/rescaled value for a specific bucket value.
+Values that cannot be normalized, will be skipped using the <<gap-policy, skip gap policy>>.
+
+==== Syntax
+
+A `normalize` aggregation looks like this in isolation:
+
+[source,js]
+--------------------------------------------------
+{
+    "normalize": {
+        "buckets_path": "normalized",
+        "method": "percent_of_sum"
+    }
+}
+--------------------------------------------------
+// NOTCONSOLE
+
+[[normalize_pipeline-params]]
+.`normalize_pipeline` Parameters
+[options="header"]
+|===
+|Parameter Name |Description |Required |Default Value
+|`buckets_path` |The path to the buckets we wish to normalize (see <<buckets-path-syntax, `buckets_path` syntax>> for more details) |Required |
+|`method` | The specific <<normalize_pipeline-method, method>> to apply | Required |
+|`format` |format to apply to the output value of this aggregation |Optional |`null`
+|===
+
+==== Methods
+[[normalize_pipeline-method]]
+
+The Normalize Aggregation supports multiple methods to transform the bucket values. Each method definition will use
+the following original set of bucket values as examples: `[5, 5, 10, 50, 10, 20]`.
+
+_rescale_0_1_::
+                This method rescales the data such that the minimum number is zero, and the maximum number is 1, with the rest normalized
+                linearly in-between.
+
+                x' = (x - min_x) / (max_x - min_x)
+
+                [0, 0, .1111, 1, .1111, .3333]
+
+_rescale_0_100_::
+                This method rescales the data such that the minimum number is zero, and the maximum number is 1, with the rest normalized
+                linearly in-between.
+
+                x' = 100 * (x - min_x) / (max_x - min_x)
+
+                [0, 0, 11.11, 100, 11.11, 33.33]
+
+_percent_of_sum_::
+                This method normalizes each value so that it represents a percentage of the total sum it attributes to.
+
+                x' = x / sum_x
+
+                [5%, 5%, 10%, 50%, 10%, 20%]
+
+
+_mean_::
+                This method normalizes such that each value is normalized by how much it differs from the average.
+
+                x' = (x - mean_x) / (max_x - min_x)
+
+                [4.63, 4.63, 9.63, 49.63, 9.63, 9.63, 19.63]
+
+_zscore_::
+                This method normalizes such that each value represents how far it is from the mean relative to the standard deviation
+
+                x' = (x - mean_x) / stdev_x
+
+                [-0.68, -0.68, -0.39, 1.94, -0.39, 0.19]
+
+_softmax_::
+                This method normalizes such that each value is exponentiated and relative to the sum of the exponents of the original values.
+
+                x' = e^x / sum_e_x
+
+                [2.862E-20, 2.862E-20, 4.248E-18, 0.999, 9.357E-14, 4.248E-18]
+
+
+==== Example
+
+The following snippet calculates the percent of total sales for each month:
+
+[source,console]
+--------------------------------------------------
+POST /sales/_search
+{
+    "size": 0,
+    "aggs" : {
+        "sales_per_month" : {
+            "date_histogram" : {
+                "field" : "date",
+                "calendar_interval" : "month"
+            },
+            "aggs": {
+                "sales": {
+                    "sum": {
+                        "field": "price"
+                    }
+                },
+                "percent_of_total_sales": {
+                    "normalize": {
+                        "buckets_path": "sales", <1>
+                        "method": "percent_of_sum",  <2>
+                        "format": "00.00%" <3>
+                    }
+                }
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+--------------------------------------------------
+// TEST[setup:sales]
+
+<1> `buckets_path` instructs this normalize aggregation to use the output of the `sales` aggregation for rescaling
+<2> `method` sets which rescaling to apply. In this case, `percent_of_sum` will calculate the sales value as a percent of all sales
+    in the parent bucket
+<3> `format` influences how to format the metric as a string using Java's `DecimalFormat` pattern. In this case, multiplying by 100
+    and adding a '%'
+
+And the following may be the response:
