* Introduce binary_format request parameter (binary.format for JDBC) to disable binary
communication between clients (jdbc/odbc) and server.
* for CLI - "binary" command line parameter (or -b) is introduced. Default value is "true".
* binary communication (cbor) is enabled by default
* disabling request parameter introduced for debugging purposes only
(cherry picked from commit f96a5ca61cb9fad9ed59357320af20e669348ce7)
* Add format parameter to the range queries built for CURRENT_* functions
used in comparison conditions
* Use range queries for date fields equality/non-equality as well.

Adds an initial limited implementations of geo features to SQL. This implementation is based on the [OpenGIS® Implementation Standard for Geographic information - Simple feature access](http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/sfs), which is the current standard for GIS system implementation. This effort is concentrate on SQL option AKA ISO 19125-2.
Queries that are supported as a result of this initial implementation
Metadata commands
- `DESCRIBE table` - returns the correct column types `GEOMETRY` for geo shapes and geo points.
- `SHOW FUNCTIONS` - returns a list that includes supported `ST_` functions
- `SYS TYPES` and `SYS COLUMNS` display correct types `GEO_SHAPE` and `GEO_POINT` for geo shapes and geo points accordingly.
Returning geoshapes and geopoints from elasticsearch
- `SELECT geom FROM table` - returns the geoshapes and geo_points as libs/geo objects in JDBC or as WKT strings in console.
- `SELECT ST_AsWKT(geom) FROM table;` and `SELECT ST_AsText(geom) FROM table;`- returns the geoshapes ang geopoints in their WKT representation;
Using geopoints to elasticsearch
- The following functions will be supported for geopoints in queries, sorting and aggregations: `ST_GeomFromText`, `ST_X`, `ST_Y`, `ST_Z`, `ST_GeometryType`, and `ST_Distance`. In most cases when used in queries, sorting and aggregations, these function are translated into script. These functions can be used in the SELECT clause for both geopoints and geoshapes.
- `SELECT * FROM table WHERE ST_Distance(ST_GeomFromText(POINT(1 2), point) < 10;` - returns all records for which `point` is located within 10m from the `POINT(1 2)`. In this case the WHERE clause is translated into a range query.
Limitations:
Geoshapes cannot be used in queries, sorting and aggregations as part of this initial effort. In order to fully take advantage of geoshapes we would need to have access to geoshape doc values, which is coming in #37206. `ST_Z` cannot be used on geopoints in queries, sorting and aggregations since we don't store altitude in geo_point doc values.
Relates to #29872
Backport of #42031
Improve error messages by returning the original SQL statement
declaration instead of trying to reproduce it as the casing and
whitespaces are not preserved accurately leading to small
differences.
Close#37161
Added warnings checks to existing tests
Added “defaultTypeIfNull” to DocWriteRequest interface so that Bulk requests can override a null choice of document type with any global custom choice.
Related to #35190
Moves `x-pack/qa/sql/*` into `x-pack/plugin/sql/qa` to make it simpler
to run all of the sql tests. This lines up with how newer projects like
cross cluster replication are testing themselves.
