[CORE] Support alpha/beta releases in version parsing too

Pull Request #7055 fixed Version parsing for bugfix releases
causing problems with minor version in segments files. Even though
we never release anything with lucene in alpha / beta status this
commit fixes lenient parsing for these cases.

[QUERY] Separate parsing impl from setter in SearchParseElement

This commit makes it easier to reuse the inner highlighting, fetch
and rescore parsing logic by plugins or other internal parts.

Closes #3602
Aggregations: Stops direct subclassing of InternalNumericMetricsAggregation

Must subclass either InternalNumericMetricsAggregation.SingleValue or InternalNumericMetricsAggregation.MultiValue
Docs: Add links to the equivalent aggs in facets documentation.
Updated es_release_notes script to replace backticks with code tags
Plugin Lucene version checker: use `Lucene.parseVersionLenient`

With commit 07c632a2d4dbefe44e8f25dc4ded6cf143d60e41, we now have a new Lucene.parseVersionLenient(String, Version) method which tries to find an existing Lucene version based on the two first digits X.Y of X.Y.Z String.
Internal: use AtomicInteger instead of volatile int for the current action filter position

Also improved filter chain tests to not rely on execution time, and made filter chain tests look more similar to what happens in reality by removing multiple threads creation in testTooManyContinueProcessing (something we don't support anyway, makes little sense to test it).

Closes #7021
Rest: fixed filters execution order to be from lowest to highest rather than the other way around

Closes #7019
[TESTS] fix circuit breaker tests for remote clusters and bwc

Adds additional version checks in NodeStats for older versions

When using an external cluster (backwards compatibility tests), the act
of checking the request breaker requires a network buffer, which
increments the breaker. This change only checks the request breaker in
InternalTestCluster and uses Guice to retrieve it instead of
a (possible) network request.

Also removed the now unused InternalCircuitBreakerService class
[TEST]: Enable sniff mode while testing

This adds randomization to enable sniff mode for the
transport client for each test run.
