Do not cache term queries. (#21566)

There have been reports that the query cache did not manage to speed up search
requests when the query includes a large number of different sub queries since
a single request may manage to exhaust the whole history (256 queries) while
the query cache only starts caching queries once they appear multiple times in
the history (#16031). On the other hand, increasing the size of the query cache
is a bit controversial (#20116) so this pull request proposes a different
approach that consists of never caching term queries, and not adding them to the
history of queries either. The reasoning is that these queries should be fast
anyway, regardless of caching, so taking them out of the equation should not
cause any slow down. On the other hand, the fact that they are not added to the
cache history anymore means that other queries have greater chances of being
cached.
