Clarify docs on field type families (#84368)
There has been some confusion over the definition of a field type family. This
PR clarifies the definition in the docs: the two types should have the exact
same search behavior (including supporting the same queries/ aggs, and producing
the same response). It's not sufficient for them to just support the samme
search operations.

This change also fixes an inaccurate statement that there is only one field type
family so far.
