Expose phrase-prefix queries via the built-in query parser (#2044)

* Expose phrase-prefix queries via the built-in query parser

This proposes the less-than-imaginative syntax `field:"phrase ter"*` to
perform a phrase prefix query against `field` using `phrase` and `ter` as the
terms. The aim of this is to make this type of query more discoverable and
simplify manual testing.

I did consider exposing the `max_expansions` parameter similar to how slop is
handled, but I think that this is rather something that should be configured via
the querser parser (similar to `set_field_boost` and `set_field_fuzzy`) as
choosing it requires rather intimiate knowledge of the backing index.

* Prevent construction of zero or one term phrase-prefix queries via the query parser.

* Add example using phrase-prefix search via surface API to improve feature discoverability.
