Allow doc-values only search on ip fields (#82929)
Allows searching on ip fields when those fields are not indexed (index: false) but just doc values are enabled.

This enables searches on archive data, which has access to doc values but not index structures. When combined with
searchable snapshots, it allows downloading only data for a given (doc value) field to quickly filter down to a select set
of documents.

= Query DSL
[partintro]

Elasticsearch provides a full Query DSL (Domain Specific Language) based on JSON to define queries.
Think of the Query DSL as an AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) of queries, consisting of two types of
clauses:
Leaf query clauses::
Leaf query clauses look for a particular value in a particular field, such as the
<<query-dsl-match-query,`match`>>, <<query-dsl-term-query,`term`>> or
<<query-dsl-range-query,`range`>> queries. These queries can be used
by themselves.
Compound query clauses::
Compound query clauses wrap other leaf *or* compound queries and are used to combine
multiple queries in a logical fashion (such as the
<<query-dsl-bool-query,`bool`>> or <<query-dsl-dis-max-query,`dis_max`>> query),
or to alter their behaviour (such as the
<<query-dsl-constant-score-query,`constant_score`>> query).
Query clauses behave differently depending on whether they are used in
<<query-filter-context,query context or filter context>>.
[[query-dsl-allow-expensive-queries]]
Allow expensive queries::
Certain types of queries will generally execute slowly due to the way they are implemented, which can affect
the stability of the cluster. Those queries can be categorised as follows:
* Queries that need to do linear scans to identify matches:
** <<query-dsl-script-query,`script` queries>>
** queries on <<number,numeric>>, <<date,date>>, <<boolean,boolean>>, <<ip,ip>> or <<keyword,keyword>> fields
that are not indexed but have <<doc-values,doc values>> enabled
* Queries that have a high up-front cost:
** <<query-dsl-fuzzy-query,`fuzzy` queries>> (except on
<<wildcard-field-type,`wildcard`>> fields)
** <<query-dsl-regexp-query,`regexp` queries>> (except on
<<wildcard-field-type,`wildcard`>> fields)
** <<query-dsl-prefix-query,`prefix` queries>> (except on
<<wildcard-field-type,`wildcard`>> fields or those without
<<index-prefixes,`index_prefixes`>>)
** <<query-dsl-wildcard-query,`wildcard` queries>> (except on
<<wildcard-field-type,`wildcard`>> fields)
** <<query-dsl-range-query,`range` queries>> on <<text,`text`>> and
<<keyword,`keyword`>> fields
* <<joining-queries,Joining queries>>
* Queries that may have a high per-document cost:
** <<query-dsl-script-score-query,`script_score` queries>>
** <<query-dsl-percolate-query,`percolate` queries>>
The execution of such queries can be prevented by setting the value of the `search.allow_expensive_queries`
setting to `false` (defaults to `true`).
