Set soft limit on the number of nested fields per index #14983

Description

@jpountz

Today dynamic templates can be used to eg. dynamically map objects to "nested" fields. This is quite dangerous as nested fields limit the scalability of indices. For instance an index that has 1M docs with 100 nested docs each requires as much resources as a 100M docs index. By forbidding dynamic mappings on object fields, we would at least ensure that all the nested mappings are explicit.
