I'm trying to change an ES plugin that worked with ES v7.3.0 to work with ES v7.16.3, but it seems like `common.ParseField` was removed in ES v7.14.0 and `common.xcontent.XContentBuilder` & `common.xcontent.XContentParser` were removed in ES v7.16.0

I'm not sure where to start in refactoring [my code's usages of ParseField and xcontent](https://github.com/messiaen/full-lattice-search/blob/43d789682c7a0a24ee53ab39471c5482639db433/src/main/java/com/eigendomain/eslatticeindex/index/query/MatchLatticeQueryBuilder.java). Are there recommended classes to migrate to using or any documentation that would point me how to handle this?

Solution is they were both moved out of `org.elasticsearch.common.xcontent` to `org.elasticsearch.xcontent` through [Move ParseField to o.e.c.xcontent (#73923) by rjernst · Pull Request #73929 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/73929/commits/0eaa06e02aa7b0a5a321a8dda6faf0f7e4c79307) and [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/79061/commits/66689ab0b5b790cb8a8d91664a1bb2f4c7a54cc7](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/79061/commits/66689ab0b5b790cb8a8d91664a1bb2f4c7a54cc7)
