ESQL: Fix MultiClusterSpecIT failing test using :: cast (#119263)

Fixes #119254
Fixes #119255

The `x::<type>` cast syntax doesn't exist in older versions, so, if the test doesn't require a modern capability, it may fail.

I'm fixing this in main instead of 8.x just to avoid future conflicts, and because the cast syntax has nothing to do with the test itself.
