More Like This: Fix correct use of size and from parameters

More Like This API would not take into account 'size' and 'from' in request body parameters.
Instead these values would always be overriden by the default values of REST parameters
'search_size' and 'search_from'.

Closes #5981
Fixed validate query parsing issues

Made sure that a match_all query is used when no query is specified and ensure no NPE is thrown either.
Also used the same code path as the search api to ensure that alias filters are taken into account, same for type filters.

Detect unsupported fields after query in validate query api

The validate API was failing to reject JSON input that had unsupported
fields placed after a supported field. This was causing invalid requests
to be reported as valid.

Fixes #5685
restored @Test annotation in SimpleValidateQueryTests
Made the include and exclude support for terms and significant terms aggregations based on global ordinals.

Closes #6000
[TEST] made catch request more accurate in REST tests runner

[TESTS] Improve BenchmarkIntegrationTest's check that percentiles are increasing.

Percentiles are supposed to be monotonically increasing but floating-point
rounding issues can come into play and make the test fail if checks are too
strict.
Check if root mapping is actually valid

When a mapping is declared and the type is known from the uri
then the type can be skipped in the body (see #4483). However,
there was no check if the given keys actually make a valid mapping.

5882: put back Elasticsearch's 1.1 defaults for ConcurrentMergeScheduler
#6120 Remove SerialMergeScheduler (master only)

It's dangerous to expose SerialMergeScheduler as an option: since it only allows one merge at a time, it can easily cause merging to fall behind.
