Fix nested Array issue with Elasticsearch query 7.7.0
What does this MR do?
This fixes an issue in Elasticsearch 7.7+ versions (#218324 (closed)). Previously the query parser was forgiving about nested arrays and would just automatically flatten them for you but now we need to flatten them ourselves. I did read about this in https://discuss.elastic.co/t/must-not-boolean-query-in-7-7/233269 but sadly they do not consider this a breaking change so it was not obvious the cause initially.
We cannot easily write an automated test for this since these queries work fine with the ES versions we run in GDK and in CI. That being said I tested it locally to verify it fixes the described issue.
