For cases where fields can have multi values, allow the behavior to be
customized through a dedicated configuration field.
By default this will be enabled on the drivers so that existing datasets
work instead of throwing an exception.
For regular SQL usage, the behavior is false so that the user is aware
of the underlying data.

* SQL: Rename SQL data type DATE to DATETIME
SQL data type DATE has only the date part (e.g.: 2019-01-14)
without any time information. Previously the SQL type DATE was
referring to the ES DATE which contains also the time part along
with TZ information. To conform with SQL data types the data type
`DATE` is renamed to `DATETIME`, since it includes also the time,
as a new runtime SQL `DATE` data type will be introduced down the road,
which only contains the date part and meets the SQL standard.
