Support for semantic version data type in index patterns, aggregations, and Lens

[wylieconlon]

Kibana should have full support for the new semantic versioning data type, which was introduced in Elasticsearch 7.10 but is not supported in Kibana. Because it's a type of Keyword field, we should be able to map this as a string everywhere in Kibana.

Side note for Lens - we should pick this up in the sorting logic for the table

Unlike regular keyword fields, you can use a range query on semantic version fields.

ECS is adopting the version field type: elastic/ecs#887

It looks like the index templates editor already supports version fields: #78206

[Dosant]

Basic support was added in #104870

I tested that :

• Data view editor identifies version field as version
• You can use range filter for version field in query editor (KQL) and in filter manager. (filter manager using custom filter)
• Sorting is discover works properly based on semantic version rules
• Sorting in visualize table is correct

Potential improvements:

• Fix display in Field component
  
  • Ideally need a new token type from EUI: [EuiIcon] Add tokenVersion  eui#5520, otherwise tokenVariable I think could be used as temp workaround
• Add support for range filter editor in filter manager
• Fix sorting in Lens table Support for semantic version data type in index patterns, aggregations, and Lens #93248 (comment)
• More..?
