Backport of #64382.

In elastic#63520, we started cancelling searches that encounter shard failures and
don't allow partial results. In this case we return an 'all shards failed'
response, since there are no successful responses.

This PR proposes to return a 'partial shards failure' instead. The reasoning:
it's misleading to claim that 'all shards failed' when we only know at least
one shard failed (and preemptively cancelled the rest).
