With this commit we change the data type of the 'TIMESTAMP'
meta-data field from a formatted date string to a plain
`java.util.Date` instance. The main reason for this change is
that our benchmarks have indicated that this contributes
significantly to the time spent in the ingest pipeline.
The overhead in terms of indexing throughput of the ingest
pipeline is about 15% and breaks down roughly as follows:
* 5% overhead caused by the conversion from `XContent` -> `Map`
* 5% overhead caused by the timestamp formatting
* 5% overhead caused by the conversion `Map` -> `XContent`

When using dynamic templates, ES will now throw an exception if a
`match_mapping_type` is used that doesn't correspond to an actual type.

* Scripting: Remove groovy scripting language
Groovy was deprecated in 5.0. This change removes it, along with the
legacy default language infrastructure in scripting.
0219a211d3 added support for templates
to have multiple patterns and renamed `template` to `index_patterns`.
This adds the breaking changes docs for that.
This commit adds migration docs for the cat API, including a note
regarding the change in response in the cat thread pool API for
unbounded queue sizes.

In 5.x we allowed this with a deprecation warning. This removes the code
added for that deprecation, requiring the cluster name to not be in the
data path.

This was an error-prone version type that allowed overriding previous
version semantics. It could cause primaries and replicas to be out of
sync however, so it has been removed.
Resolves#19769
Previous versions of Elasticsearch permitted unquoted JSON field names even though this is against the JSON spec. This leniency was disabled by default in the 5.x series of Elasticsearch but a backwards compatibility layer was added via a system property with the intention of removing this layer in 6.0.0. This commit removes this backwards compatibility layer.
