Adds a new type to the convert processor that validates IPv4/IPv6 addresses. Useful for guaranteeing that a particular field value can be mapped to an Elasticsearch ip field type. This is similar to the Beats processor functionality (described here) in which "the convert processor supports a psuedo-type for IPs. It doesn't really change the data type, but it will fail the "conversion" if the value is not an IP."
