Backport of #48315, opening a PR to run a full build.

We have not seen much adoption of this experimental field type, and don't see a
clear use case as it's currently designed. This PR deprecates the field type in
7.x. It will be removed from 8.0 in a follow-up PR.

Follow up to #48368. This PR removes support for `sparse_vector` on new
indices. On 7.x indices a `sparse_vector` can still be defined, but it is not
possible to index or search on it.
