Description

Subtask of LUCENE-9204.  QueryBuilder currently has special logic for graph phrase queries with no slop, constructing a spanquery that attempts to follow all paths using a combination of OR and NEAR queries.  Given the known bugs in this type of query (LUCENE-7398) and that we would like to move span queries out of core in any case, we should remove this logic and just build a disjunction of phrase queries, one phrase per path.
