* Decouple XContentBuilder from BytesReference
This commit removes all mentions of `BytesReference` from `XContentBuilder`.
This is needed so that we can completely decouple the XContent code and move it
into its own dependency.
While this change appears large, it is due to two main changes, moving
`.bytes()` and `.string()` out of XContentBuilder itself into static methods
`BytesReference.bytes` and `Strings.toString` respectively. The rest of the
change is code reacting to these changes (the majority of it in tests).
Relates to #28504
Applying the rest test gradle plugin already uses the zip distribution
by default, so specifying it explicitly is not necessary. These are
leftovers from before zip was the default for rest tests.
Generalizing BWC building so that there is less code to modify for a release. This ensures we do not
need to think about what major or minor version is in the gradle code. It follows the general rules of the
elastic release structure. For more information on the rules, see the VersionCollection's javadoc.
This also removes the additional bwc snapshots that will never be released, such as 6.0.2, which were
being built and tested against every time we ran bwc tests.
Additionally, it creates 4 new projects that correspond to the different types of snapshots that may exist
for a given version. Its possible to now run those individual tasks to work out bwc logic whereas
previously it was impossible and the entire suite of bwc tests had to be run to work out any logic
changes in the build tools' bwc project. Please note that if the project does not make sense for the
version that is current, that an error will be thrown from that individual project if an attempt is made to
run it.
This should allow for automating the version bumps as well, since it removes all the hardcoded version
logic from the configs.
The `fielddata` field and the use of the `_name` field in the short syntax of the range
query have been deprecated in 5.0 and can be removed.
The same goes for the deprecated `score_mode` field in HasParentQueryBuilder,
the deprecated `like_text`, `ids` and `docs` parameter in the `more_like_this` query,
the deprecated query name in the short version of the `regexp` query, and several
deprecated alternative field names in other query builders.
At current, we do not feel there is enough of a reason to shade the low
level rest client. It caused problems with commons logging and IDE's
during the brief time it was used. We did not know exactly how many
users will need this, and decided that leaving shading out until we
gather more information is best. Users can still shade the jar
themselves. For information and feeback, see issue #26366.

The Writeble representation is less heavy to parse and that will benefit percolate performance and throughput.
The query builder's binary format has now the same bwc guarentees as the xcontent format.
Added a qa test that verifies that percolator queries written in older versions are still readable by the current version.
