This commit, built on top of #51708, allows to modify shard search requests based on informations collected on other shards. It is intended to speed up sorted queries on time-based indices. For queries that are only interested in the top documents.
This change will rewrite the shard queries to match none if the bottom sort value computed in prior shards is better than all values in the shard.
For queries that mix top documents and aggregations this change will reset the size of the top documents to 0 instead of rewriting to match none.
This means that we don't need to keep a search context open for this shard since we know in advance that it doesn't contain any competitive hit.
