fix: show Map sub-fields in facet panel for non-LowCardinality value types (#2002)

## Summary

When a table uses `Map(LowCardinality(String), String)` for columns like `LogAttributes` or `ResourceAttributes`, none of the Map sub-fields appear in the search page's facet/filter panel. This is because the filter logic extracts the Map **value** type (`String`) and checks it for `LowCardinality` to decide default visibility — so only `Map(LowCardinality(String), LowCardinality(String))` schemas worked.

The fix adds an `isMapSubField` check (`path.length > 1`) so that all Map/JSON sub-fields are always included in the default filter set, regardless of the Map value type. Regular top-level `String` columns (like `Body`) remain hidden by default.

### How to test locally or on Vercel

1. Configure a ClickHouse source with a table that uses `Map(LowCardinality(String), String)` for LogAttributes or ResourceAttributes (e.g. the default ClickHouse Cloud OTel exporter schema)
2. Navigate to the search page for that source
3. Verify that LogAttributes and ResourceAttributes sub-fields now appear in the facet panel by default, without needing to click "More filters"
