[7.x][ML] Add incremental id during data frame analytics reindexing (#61943) (#61971)
Previously, we added a copy of the `_id` during reindexing and sorted
the destination index on that. This allowed us to traverse the docs in the
destination index in a stable order multiple times and with efficiency.
However, the destination index being sorted means we cannot have `nested`
typed fields. This is a problem as it does not allow us to provide
a good experience with our evaluate API when it comes to computing
metrics for specific classes, features, etc.

This commit changes the approach in order to result to a destination
index that allows nested fields.

Instead of adding a copy of the `_id` field, we now add an incremental
id that we can use to traverse the docs in a stable order. We also
ensure we always assign the same incremental id to the same doc from
the source indices by sorting on `_seq_no` during reindexing. That
in combination with the reindexing API using scroll gives us a stable
order as scroll uses the (`_index`, `_doc`, shard_id) tuple to resolve ties.

The extractor now does not need to scroll. Instead we sort on the incremental
id and we do ranged searches to avoid the sort-all-docs overhead.

Finally, the `TestDocsIterator` is simply changed to search_after the incremental id.

With these changes data frame analytics jobs do not use scroll at any part.

Having all these in place, the commit adds the `nested` types to the necessary
fields of `classification` and `regression` analyses results.
