Fix for issue: Prohibit first statement in query from being a "not" statement but allow all other query operators

Negative queries are a very common use case. I'm curious why this was disallowed. Does the query engine not support it right now?

kreeben commented 7 years ago

@AlgorithmsAreCool Negative queries are allowed but not if it is the only statement in the query, because there is no support for "give me all data except where myfield=somevalue". But maybe there should be?
