==== Missing checks for `index.max_docvalue_fields_search`
The setting `index.max_docvalue_fields_search` limits the number of fields that
can be retrieved through `docvalue_fields` in a search. Previously we only
checked this limit when `docvalue_fields` appeared in the top-level search
request body. Now we also enforce the limit when loading doc value fields in
an `inner_hits` section or in a `top_hits` aggregation.
