Expressions like `1 = 2 = 3 = 4` or `1 < 2 = 3 >= 4` were treated with leftmost priority: ((1 = 2) = 3) = 4 which can lead to confusing results. Since such expressions don't make so much change for EQL filters we disallow them in the parser to prevent unexpected results from their bad usage. Major DBs like PostgreSQL and Oracle also disallow them in their SQL syntax. (counter example would be MySQL which interprets them as we did before with leftmost priority). Fixes: elastic#61654 (cherry picked from commit 8f94981)
