Most aggregations (terms, histogram, stats, percentiles, geohash-grid) now
support a new `missing` option which defines the value to consider when a
field does not have a value. This can be handy if you eg. want a terms
aggregation to handle the same way documents that have "N/A" or no value
for a `tag` field.
This works in a very similar way to the `missing` option on the `sort`
element.
One known issue is that this option sometimes cannot make the right decision
in the unmapped case: it needs to replace all values with the `missing` value
but might not know what kind of values source should be produced (numerics,
strings, geo points?). For this reason, we might want to add an `unmapped_type`
option in the future like we did for sorting.

This commit makes queries and filters parsed the same way using the
QueryParser abstraction. This allowed to remove duplicate code that we had
for similar queries/filters such as `range`, `prefix` or `term`.
Previously, we were using the "statistical", technically accurate name. Instead, we
should probably use the name that people are familiar with, e.g. "Holt Winters" instead
of "triple exponential". To that end:
- `single_exp` becomes `ewma` (exponentially weighted moving average)
- `double_exp` becomes `holt`
When the `triple_exp` is added, it will be called `holt_winters`.
