Title: Aggregations: simplifications.

BucketAggregationMode used to be part of the framework, now it's only an
implementation detail of the (significant) terms, histogram, geohash grid and
scripted aggregators.

Aggregator.estimatedBucketCount() was a complicated way to do the initial sizing
of the data structures, but it did not work very well in practice and was rather
likely to lead to over-sized data-structures causing OOMEs. It's removed now and
all data-structures start with a size of 1 and grow exponentially.

Aggregator.preCollection() is now symetric with postCollection(): it exists on
all aggregation objects where postCollection() also is and recursively calls its
children.

Fixed other minor issues related to generics and exceptions.
