Description
Discussion on [SOLR-4586](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4586) raised the idea of raising the limit on boolean clauses from 1024 to Integer.MAX_VALUE. This should be a safe change. It will change the nature of help requests from "Why can't I do 2000 clauses?" to "Why is my 5000-clause query slow?"

Research direction
Locate the BooleanQuery implementation and its maxClauseCount setting, then read the surrounding clause-limit logic first. Review the linked SOLR-4586 and #8931 context to determine whether the requested change is still applicable; done means the clause limit matches the issue's request and existing behavior remains verified.
