Description
This change fixes a code path that did not properly impose the index-level max_regex_length limit. Therefore, it was possibly to provide an arbitrarily large string as the include/exclude reg-ex value under search aggregations. This exposed the underlying node to crashes from a StackOverflowError, due to how the Lucene RegExp class processes strings using stack frames.
This change also includes the removal of the null-case for IndexSettings since this only occurs in tests (the tests now use a dummy Index Setting) and fixes a bug with the base case handling of max regex length in the check.
Issues Resolved
Backport of #2810 and #2814
