Add ES|QL (Elasticsearch Query Language) as a new data language

Description

ES|QL is Elastic's query language for Elasticsearch, available since 8.11.0 (November 2023). It's a piped language — queries look like FROM index | WHERE ... | STATS ... | LIMIT 10 — used in .esql files for test fixtures, security detection rules, observability runbooks, and benchmark suites.

The esql alias enables syntax highlighting in fenced code blocks (```esql).
