This commit brings the benefits of the `count` search type to search requests
that have a `size` of 0:
- a single round-trip to shards (no fetch phase)
- ability to use the query cache
Since `count` now provides no benefits over `query_then_fetch`, it has been
deprecated.

The behaviour is better in the case someone has multiple levels of nested object fields defined in the mapping and like to define a single inner_hits definition that is two or more levels deep.
If someone wants inner hits on a nested field that is 2 levels deep the following would need to be defined:
```
{
...
"inner_hits" : {
"path" : {
"level1" : {
"inner_hits" : {
"path" : {
"level2" : {
"query" : { .... }
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
```
With this change the above can be defined as:
```
{
...
"inner_hits" : {
"path" : {
"level1.level2" : {
"query" : { .... }
}
}
}
}
```
Closes#9251
Changed search_type docs to reflect that the `(dfs_)query_and_fetch` modes are an internal optimization and should not be specified explicitly by the user.
Relates to #9606
We now have a very useful annotation to mark features or parameters as
experimental. Let's use it! This commit replaces some custom text warnings with
this annotation and adds this annotation to some existing features/parameters:
- inner_hits (unreleased yet)
- terminate_after (released in 1.4)
- per-bucket doc count errors in the terms agg (released in 1.4)
I also tagged with this annotation settings which should either be not needed
(like the ability to evict entries from the filter cache based on time) or that
are too deep into the way that Elasticsearch works like the Directory
implementation or merge settings.
Close#9563
Inner hits allows to embed nested inner objects, children documents or the parent document that contributed to the matching of the returned search hit as inner hits, which would otherwise be hidden.

This is functionally equivalent to before, so there should be no
user-visible impact, except I added a NOTE in the docs warning about
the interaction of pagination and rescoring.

Aggregations are collection-wide statistics, which is incompatible with the
collection mode of search_type=SCAN since it doesn't collect all matches on
calls to the search API.
Close#7429
Aggregations are collection-wide statistics so they would always be the same.
In order to save CPU/bandwidth, we can just return them on the first page.
Same as #1642 but for aggregations.
Because json objects are unordered this also adds an explicit order syntax
that looks like
"highlight": {
"fields": [
{"title":{ /*params*/ }},
{"text":{ /*params*/ }}
]
}
This is not useful for any of the builtin highlighters but will be useful
in plugins.
Closes#4649
In #4052 we added support for highlighting multi term queries using the postings highlighter. That worked only for top-level queries though, and not for multi term queries that are nested for instance within a bool query, or filtered query, or a constant score query.
The way we make this work is by walking the query structure and temporarily overriding the query rewrite method with a method that allows for multi terms extraction.
