Today we check every regular expression eagerly against every possible term.
This can be very slow if you have lots of unique terms, and even the bottleneck
if your query is selective.
This commit switches to Lucene regular expressions instead of Java (not exactly
the same syntax yet most existing regular expressions should keep working) and
uses the same logic as RegExpQuery to intersect the regular expression with the
terms dictionary. I wrote a quick benchmark (in the PR) to make sure it made
things faster and the same request that took 750ms on master now takes 74ms with
this change.

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.

This commit adds a new field to the response of the terms aggregation called
`sum_other_doc_count` which is equal to the sum of the doc counts of the buckets
that did not make it to the list of top buckets. It is typically useful to have
a sector called eg. `other` when using terms aggregations to build pie charts.
Example query and response:
```json
GET test/_search?search_type=count
{
"aggs": {
"colors": {
"terms": {
"field": "color",
"size": 3
}
}
}
}
```
```json
{
[...],
"aggregations": {
"colors": {
"doc_count_error_upper_bound": 0,
"sum_other_doc_count": 4,
"buckets": [
{
"key": "blue",
"doc_count": 65
},
{
"key": "red",
"doc_count": 14
},
{
"key": "brown",
"doc_count": 3
}
]
}
}
}

The terms aggregation can now support sorting on multiple criteria by replacing the sort object with an array or sort object whose order signifies the priority of the sort. The existing syntax for sorting on a single criteria also still works.

This is only applicable when the order is set to _count. The upper bound of the error in the doc count is calculated by summing the doc count of the last term on each shard which did not return the term. The implementation calculates the error by summing the doc count for the last term on each shard for which the term IS returned and then subtracts this value from the sum of the doc counts for the last term from ALL shards.

A new "breadth_first" results collection mode allows upper branches of aggregation tree to be calculated and then pruned
to a smaller selection before advancing into executing collection on child branches.
Closes#6128
Supports sorting on sub-aggs down the current hierarchy. This is supported as long as the aggregation in the specified order path are of a single-bucket type, where the last aggregation in the path points to either a single-bucket aggregation or a metrics one. If it's a single-bucket aggregation, the sort will be applied on the document count in the bucket (i.e. doc_count), and if it is a metrics type, the sort will be applied on the pointed out metric (in case of a single-metric aggregations, such as avg, the sort will be applied on the single metric value)
NOTE: this commit adds a constraint on what should be considered a valid aggregation name. Aggregations names must be alpha-numeric and may contain '-' and '_'.
Closes#5253
Terms aggregations return up to `size` terms, so up to now, the way to get all
matching terms back was to set `size` to an arbitrary high number that would be
larger than the number of unique terms.
Terms aggregators already made sure to not allocate memory based on the `size`
parameter so this commit mostly consists in making `0` an alias for the
maximum integer value in the TermsParser.
Close#4837
`min_doc_count` is the minimum number of hits that a term or histogram key
should match in order to appear in the response.
`min_doc_count=0` replaces `compute_empty_buckets` for histograms and will
behave exactly like facets' `all_terms=true` for terms aggregations.
Close#4662
When the ValuesSource has ordinals, terms ordinals are used as a cache key to
bucket ordinals. This can make terms aggregations on String terms significantly
faster.
