A value of -1 indicates missing, and -2 indicates fill value
Although this is somewhat redundant given that we've already defined -1 and -2 for integer fields.
It would perhaps be good to clarify the point that a GT="." is interpreted as a haploid missing call ([-1, -2], if the overall ploidy is 2), where as a true missing diploid call would be "./." ([-1, -1]). Client software should be robust to this, and may want to provide facilities to force full fixed ploidy calls, depending on the VCF producing software and species.

As discussed in sgkit-dev/bio2zarr#179 the current spec is a bit confusing about mixed ploidy genotype calls. Currently we have
