…ic#71751) (elastic#72214) Wildcard queries on text fields should not apply the fields analyzer to the search query. However, we accidentally enabled this in elastic#53127 by moving the query normalization to the StringFieldType super type. This change fixes this by separating the notion of normalization and case insensitivity (as implemented in the `case_insensitive` flag). This is done because we still need to maintain normalization of the query sting when the wildcard query method on the field type is requested from the `query_string` query parser. Wildcard queries on keyword fields should also continue to apply the fields normalizer, regardless of whether the `case_insensitive` is set, because normalization could involve something else than lowercasing (e.g. substituting umlauts like in the GermanNormalizationFilter).
