This change updates the Painless fields API to use mapped types instead of Java types. For this initial release we only support unsigned long field. As we now intend to do conversions solely on the field classes themselves, converters and field values have been removed. Instead of using field values potentially as source fallback we will now rely on whatever class is passed into the script to support the field method. In the future, this method will need to check if a field exists on doc and if not, then do source fallback itself once that feature is supported. The path to retrieve a field is also different. Instead of using script doc values we now have our own way to retrieve the fields with a getScriptField method added to LeafDocLookup. This allows us less restrictive design space to generate the field type based the type in the leaf doc lookup; however, this will still require additional information that we need to plumb through for certain field types. Once we support all the field types this makes it easier to deprecate and remove script doc values.
