Search fix: query_string regex/wildcard searches not working on wildcard fields (#60959) (#61010)

The Query string parser was not delegating the construction of wildcard/regex queries to the underlying field type.
The wildcard field has special data structures and queries that operate on them so cannot rely on the basic regex/wildcard queries that were being used for other fields.

Closes #60957
