Description
Change the WildcardQueryNode to expose the positions of the wildcard characters.
This would allow the AllowLeadingWildcardProcessor not to have to knowledge about the wildcard chars \* and ? and avoid double check again.

Research direction
Start by reading WildcardQueryNode and AllowLeadingWildcardProcessor, then inspect the linked issues #2898 and #2641 for context. The work is done when WildcardQueryNode exposes wildcard-character positions and AllowLeadingWildcardProcessor can use that information instead of independently checking '*' and '?'.
