If a user tries to apply geo distance sorting to a field of the wrong type, they'll get a 500 error that causes shard failures, because the field data impl gets casted to the expected type without first checking that the field type is the one expected. This commit addresses that by returning a 400 error instead. Closes elastic#129500
