Avoid nested docs in painless execute api (#127991) (#128142)

Painless does not support accessing nested docs (except through
_source). Yet the painless execute api indexes any nested docs that are
found when parsing the sample document. This commit changes the ram
indexing to only index the root document, ignoring any nested docs.

fixes #41004
