Date histogram range selection should add filter on visualized date field

[synhershko]

Currently the Date Histogram visualization can be used on any datetime field, but when ranges are selected on the visualization Kibana's date filter is being updated.

Instead, I'd expect Kibana to apply a date range filter on the field the visualization was created on similar to the way the Terms Aggregation works when a term is selected in a visualization - unless its the @timestamp (or the one configured to replace it) that's being visualized - only then it makes sense for Kibana to update the global date filter.

This is especially important when showing several date visualizations (etc createdDate, updateDate etc) and need to allow for filtering based on one or more than that - and we can't just replicate this data to @timestamp

I would honestly consider this a bug, not an enhancement.
