We used to set `maxScore` to `0` within `TopDocs` in situations where there is really no score as the size was set to `0` and scores were not even tracked. In such scenarios, `Float.Nan` is more appropriate, which gets converted to `max_score: null` on the REST layer. That's also more consistent with lucene which set `maxScore` to `Float.Nan` when merging empty `TopDocs` (see `TopDocs#merge`).

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I am not too happy that all the failures I got came from integration tests and docs tests. I added some assertions to QueryPhaseTests but maybe that is not enough. Suggestions are welcome on where to add tests for this change.
