Index-time analyzers are currently specified on the MappedFieldType. This
has a number of unfortunate consequences; for example, field mappers that
index data into implementation sub-fields, such as prefix or phrase
accelerators on text fields, need to expose these sub-fields as MappedFieldTypes,
which means that they then appear in field caps, are externally searchable,
etc. It also adds index-time logic to a class that should only be concerned
with search-time behaviour.

This commit removes references to the index analyzer from MappedFieldType.
Instead, FieldMappers that use the terms index can pass either a single analyzer
or a Map of fields to analyzers to their super constructor, which are then
exposed via a new FieldMapper#indexAnalyzers() method; all index-time analysis
is mediated through the delegating analyzer wrapper on MapperService.
In a follow-up, this will make it possible to register multiple field analyzers from
a single FieldMapper, removing the need for 'hidden' mapper implementations
on text field, parent joins, and elsewhere.
