Add Student's t-test aggregation support

Adds t_test metric aggregation that can perform paired and unpaired two-sample
t-tests. In this PR support for filters in unpaired is still missing. It will
be added in a follow-up PR.

Relates to elastic#53692

+=== TTest Aggregation
+
+A `t_test` metrics aggregation that performs a statistical hypothesis test in which the test statistic follows a Student's t-distribution
+under the null hypothesis on numeric values extracted from the aggregated documents or generated by provided scripts.
+
+==== Syntax
+
+A `t_test` aggregation looks like this in isolation:
+
+[source,js]
+--------------------------------------------------
+{
+    "t_test": {
+        "a": "value_before",
+        "b": "value_after",
+        "type": "paired"
+    }
+}
+--------------------------------------------------
+// NOTCONSOLE
+
+Assuming that we have a record of node start up times before
+and after upgrade, let's look at a ttest to see if upgrade affected
+the node start up time in a meaningful way.
+
+[source,console]
+--------------------------------------------------
+GET node_upgrade/_search
+{
+    "size": 0,
+    "aggs" : {
+        "startup_time_ttest" : {
+            "t_test" : {
+                "a" : {"field": "startup_time_before" } <1>,
+                "b" : {"field": "startup_time_after"} <2>,
+                "type": "paired"
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+--------------------------------------------------
+// TEST[setup:node_upgrade]
+<1> The field `startup_time_before` must be a numeric field
+<b> The field `startup_time_after` must be a numeric field
+<1> The field `startup_time_before` since we have data from the same nodes, we are using paired t-test.
+
+The response will look like this:
+
+[source,console-result]
+--------------------------------------------------
+{
+    ...
+
+   "aggregations": {
+      "startup_time_ttest": {
+         "value":  0.1914368843365979
+      }
+   }
+}
+--------------------------------------------------
+// TESTRESPONSE[s/\.\.\./"took": $body.took,"timed_out": false,"_shards": $body._shards,"hits": $body.hits,/]
+
+==== T-Test Types
+
+The `t_test` aggregation supports unpaired and paired two-sample t-tests. The type of the test can be specified using the `type` parameter:
+
+`"type": "paired"`:: performs paired t-test
+`"type": "homoscedastic"`:: performs two-sample equal variance test
+`"type": "heteroscedastic"`:: performs two-sample unequal variance test (this is default)
+
+==== Script
+
+The `t_test` metric supports scripting.  For example, if we need to adjust out load times for the before values, we could use
+a script to recalculate them on-the-fly:
+
+[source,console]
+--------------------------------------------------
+GET node_upgrade/_search
+{
+    "size": 0,
+    "aggs" : {
+        "startup_time_ttest" : {
+            "t_test" : {
+                "a": {
+                    "script" : {
+                        "lang": "painless",
+                        "source": "doc['startup_time_before'].value - params.adjustment", <1>
+                        "params" : {
+                            "adjustment" : 10   <2>
+                        }
+                    }
+                },
+                "b": {
+                    "field": "startup_time_after" <3>
+                },
+                "type": "paired"
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+--------------------------------------------------
+// TEST[setup:node_upgrade]
+
+<1> The `field` parameter is replaced with a `script` parameter, which uses the
+script to generate values which percentiles are calculated on
+<2> Scripting supports parameterized input just like any other script
+<3> We can mix scripts and fields
