This should make the reference more digestible via the side nav and therefore more easily navigable:

  • reorganized es|ql reference from flat list to logical hierarchy
  • created three main sections: syntax reference , special fields, advanced operations
  • renamed pages with more consistent and task-oriented titles
  • aligned navigation titles with page content
  • improved introductory text for each section
  • used parallel phrasing for similar concepts
  • clarified the relationship between reference docs and conceptual docs

…e guides

This diff updates the terminology and organization of the ESQL documentation to better reflect content purpose:

. Improves description on main ESQL page to be clearer and more future-proof
. Updates heading to "Advanced workflows in {{esql}}"
. Refines introduction text to emphasize these are guides, not just command references
