Backport of #127752.
When downsampling an index that has a mapping with passthrough dimensions the downsampling process identifies the wrapper object as a dimension and it fails when it tried to retrieve the type.
We did some prework to establish a shared framework in the internalClusterTest. For now it only includes setting up time series data stream helpers and a limited assertion helper for dimensions and metrics. This allows us to setup an internalClusterTest that captures this issue during downsampling in #125156.
To fix this we refine the check that determines if a field is dimension, to skip wrapper field.
Fixes #125156.
