* Unmute FollowingEngineTests#testProcessOnceOnPrimary() test (#129054)

The reason the test fails is that operations contained _seq_no field with different doc value types (with no skippers and with skippers) and this isn't allowed, since field types need to be consistent in a Lucene index.

The initial operations were generated not knowing about the fact the index mode was set to logsdb or time_series. Causing the operations to not have doc value skippers. However when replaying the operations via following engine, the operations did have doc value skippers.

The fix is to set `index.seq_no.index_options` to `points_and_doc_values`, so that the initial operations are indexed without doc value skippers.

This test doesn't gain anything from storing seqno with doc value skippers, so there is no loss of testing coverage.

Closes #128541

* [Build] Add support for publishing to maven central (#128659)

This ensures we package an aggregation zip with all artifacts we want to publish to maven central as part of a release.
Running zipAggregation will produce a zip file in the build/nmcp/zip folder. The content of this zip is meant to match the maven artifacts we have currently declared as dra maven artifacts.

* ESQL: Check for errors while loading blocks (#129016)

Runs a sanity check after loading a block of values. Previously we were
doing a quick check if assertions were enabled. Now we do two quick
checks all the time. Better - we attach information about how a block
was loaded when there's a problem.

* Make `PhaseCacheManagementTests` project-aware (#129047)

The functionality in `PhaseCacheManagement` was already project-aware,
but these tests were still using deprecated methods.

* Vector test tools (#128934)

This adds some testing tools for verifying vector recall and latency
directly without having to spin up an entire ES node and running a rally
track.

Its pretty barebones and takes inspiration from lucene-util, but I
wanted access to our own formats and tooling to make our lives easier.

Here is an example config file. This will build the initial index, run
queries at num_candidates: 50, then again at num_candidates 100 (without
reindexing, and re-using the cached nearest neighbors).

```
[{
  "doc_vectors" : "path",
  "query_vectors" : "path",
  "num_docs" : 10000,
  "num_queries" : 10,
  "index_type" : "hnsw",
  "num_candidates" : 50,
  "k" : 10,
  "hnsw_m" : 16,
  "hnsw_ef_construction" : 200,
  "index_threads" : 4,
  "reindex" : true,
  "force_merge" : false,
  "vector_space" : "maximum_inner_product",
  "dimensions" : 768
},
{
"doc_vectors" : "path",
"query_vectors" : "path",
"num_docs" : 10000,
"num_queries" : 10,
"index_type" : "hnsw",
"num_candidates" : 100,
"k" : 10,
"hnsw_m" : 16,
"hnsw_ef_construction" : 200,
"vector_space" : "maximum_inner_product",
"dimensions" : 768
}
]
```

To execute:

```
./gradlew :qa:vector:checkVec --args="/Path/to/knn_tester_config.json"
```

Calling `./gradlew :qa:vector:checkVecHelp` gives some guidance on how
to use it, additionally providing a way to run it via java directly
(useful to bypass gradlew guff).

* Threadpool merge executor is aware of available disk space (#127613)

This PR introduces 3 new settings:
indices.merge.disk.check_interval, indices.merge.disk.watermark.high, and indices.merge.disk.watermark.high.max_headroom
that control if the threadpool merge executor starts executing new merges when the disk space is getting low.

The intent of this change is to avoid the situation where in-progress merges exhaust the available disk space on the node's local filesystem.
To this end, the thread pool merge executor periodically monitors the available disk space, as well as the current disk space estimates required by all in-progress (currently running) merges on the node, and will NOT schedule any new merges if the disk space is getting low (by default below the 5% limit of the total disk space, or 100 GB, whichever is smaller (same as the disk allocation flood stage level)).

* Add option to include or exclude vectors from _source retrieval (#128735)

This PR introduces a new include_vectors option to the _source retrieval context.
When set to false, vectors are excluded from the returned _source.
This is especially efficient when used with synthetic source, as it avoids loading vector fields entirely.

By default, vectors remain included unless explicitly excluded.

* Correct index path validation (#129144)

All we care about is if reindex is true or false. We shouldn't worry
about force merge. Because if reindex is true, we will create the
directory, if its false, we won't.
