Now that doc values are the default for fielddata, specialized in-memory
formats are becoming an esoteric option. This commit removes such formats:
fst
on string fields,compressed
on geo points.I also removed documentation and tests that the fielddata cache is shared if
you change the format, since this is only true for in-memory fielddata formats
(given that for doc values, the caching is done directly in Lucene).
In terms of backward compatibility, IndexFielddataService already falls back to
the default fielddata format in case the configured fielddata format can't be found,
and logs a warning.
