Wildcard facet retrieval not working in react-instantsearch

[giovanni-d]

🐛 Current behavior

When using the wildcard property to retrieve all facets *, the facets are not being returned by the useInstantSearch() hook.

When using the js library search function, you can retrieve all facets using wildcard. see codesandbox for repro.

This is also the same behavior on v6 using connectStateResults:

🔍 Steps to reproduce

1. Setup instant search:

  <InstantSearch
      searchClient={searchClient}
      indexName="instant_search"
      routing={true}
      insights={true}
    >
      <Configure ruleContexts={[]} facets={["*"]} />
      <SearchState />
 </InstantSearch>

2. Use hook useInstantSearch() to retrieve results
3. Check the facets retrieved and it will be empty

💭 Expected behavior

Expecting to receive all facets available when using the wildcard property just like when you can retrieve them using the js client.

This has indeed always been the case, facets retrieved from the SearchResults class are only those that are manually set, as they require a second query if anything is refined.

You can however read the facets (which would be conjunctive) from rawResults.
