The `top_metrics` agg is kind of like `top_hits` but it only works on
doc values so it *should* be faster.
At this point it is fairly limited in that it only supports a single,
numeric sort and a single, numeric metric. And it only fetches the "very
topest" document worth of metric. We plan to support returning a
configurable number of top metrics, requesting more than one metric and
more than one sort. And, eventually, non-numeric sorts and metrics. The
trick is doing those things fairly efficiently.

This adds a builder and parsed results for the `string_stats`
aggregation directly to the high level rest client. Without this the
HLRC can't access the `string_stats` API without the elastic licensed
`analytics` module.
While I'm in there this adds a few of our usual unit tests and
modernizes the parsing.
