Description
If maxresults is < 10000, then at most maxresults will be returned, because the query uses the size=maxresults parameter.
If maxresults is > 10000 then stats.lua has to use scan/scroll to fetch the results.
Now when using scrolling, the size parameter is the max number of results per batch and if using scan/scroll it is the maximum results per shard per batch. It does not control the total responses; the scrolling only stops when no more results are available.
So when using scrolling the maxresults limit is ignored.

Research direction
Start with stats.lua and trace the code path used when maxresults exceeds 10000, focusing on how scan/scroll batches are fetched and terminated. Done means scrolling stops after maxresults total responses rather than exhausting all available results.
