Issue #, if available: #564, #369, #192

Description of changes: The root cause of missing object/nested field is ES Get Field Mapping API return nothing for object/nested field. The result of Get Field Mapping API determines which field to return, hence object/nested field missing. To fix this issue, we need to return default "object" field for both when unable to find its type in Get Field Mapping response.

Side effect: The assumption that fields not exist in Get Field Mapping response must be object/nested is held only if the field is a valid and existing one. This is true when our semantic analyzer enabled, otherwise wrong type returned. Ideally, we may change to Get Index Mapping API or our own LocalClusterState. But both changes are major and the efforts are not worth for old engine legacy code.

Testing: New UT, IT and doctest (as below) are added. All old tests can pass. Tested with JDBC driver. Right column can be returned but need to add object type handling logic to JDBC driver.

Documentation: Add a new section in https://github.com/dai-chen/sql/blob/fix-object-select-issue/docs/user/beyond/partiql.rst#querying-nested-tuple-values. Change introduction section to cover both object and nested field.
