Point field mappers have odd ignore_malformed semantics #69601

Description

@romseygeek

Generally, if you have an array of values and one of them is malformed, a mapper with ignore_malformed set to true will ignore the malformed value and index the remaining, valid values. However, the point field mappers will index the document without throwing an exception but will ignore all the values. I think this is to do with array handling at the mapper level (point field mappers can accept an array as one of their formats) but it is a discrepancy and should be fixed.
