Recover concrete schema type for ANY-typed columns on the analytics route

The analytics-engine response schema was built purely from the planned
RelDataType, so a column whose planned type is ANY (e.g. the SCALAR_MAX /
SCALAR_MIN UDFs behind PPL eval max()/min(), which declare ANY because they
accept mixed numeric/string operands) was reported as 'undefined'. The
v2/Calcite path already rescues this in OpenSearchExecutionEngine.buildResultSet
by reading the actual runtime ExprValue type.

Mirror that on the analytics path: when a column's converted type is UNDEFINED
and there is a result row, take the concrete type from the first row's value.
The rows are already converted before the schema is built, so no extra work is
needed. Behavior is unchanged on the v2 path.

This fixes eval max()/min() over homogeneous operands on the analytics route
(e.g. max('apple','sam',dog_name) now reports 'string' instead of 'undefined').
