Returns regex which could grab metric names from current level to the next level
for a given query.

(Some exceptions when query has only one level due to the nature of underlying data)

for metrics : foo.bar.baz,
foo.bar.baz.qux,

for query=foo.bar.*, the regex which this method returns will capture the following metric token paths.

"foo.bar.baz"       <- current level
"foo.bar.baz.qux"   <- next level

@param query
@return
Returns regex which could grab metric names from current level to the next level for a given query .
