Bypass highlight query terms extraction on empty fields (#32090)

Dealing with empty fields in the highlight phase can
slow down the query because the query terms extraction is done independently
on each field. This change shortcuts the highlighting performed by the unified highlighter
for fields that are not present in the document. In such cases there is nothing to higlight so
we don't need to visit the query to build the highligh builder.
