Switch from using docvalue_fields to extracting values from _source (#44062) (#44804)
* Switch from using docvalue_fields to extracting values from _source
where applicable. Doing this means parsing the _source and handling the
numbers parsing just like Elasticsearch is doing it when it's indexing
a document.
* This also introduces a minor limitation: aliases type of fields that
are NOT part of a tree of sub-fields will not be able to be retrieved
anymore. field_caps API doesn't shed any light into a field being an
alias or not and at _source parsing time there is no way to know if a
root field is an alias or not. Fields of the type "a.b.c.alias" can be
extracted from docvalue_fields, only if the field they point to can be
extracted from docvalue_fields. Also, not all fields in a hierarchy of
fields can be evaluated to being an alias.
