elasticsearch/elasticsearch — Issue #1384: Nested docs and the _boost field

A query run only on nested docs fails to take the value of the `_boost` field into account - you have to run a query on the parent doc for it to be included.

Also, it should be possible to have a separate `_boost` field specified on a nested doc.
