Stricter checking for wildcard queries on _indexedit

Previously, a wildcard query on the _index field matched directly against the fully-qualified index name. Now, in order to match against remote indices like cluster:index, the query must contain a colon, as in cl*ster:inde*. This behavior aligns with the way indices are matched in the search endpoint.
