This was a straight up bug found in #12753. If only one type existed,
the compatibility check for a new type was not strict, so changes to
an updateable setting like search_analyzer got through (but only
partially). This change fixes the check and adds tests (which were
previously a TODO).
This also fixes a bug in dynamic field creation which woudln't copy
fielddata settings when duplicating a pre-existing field with the
same name.
