…lastic#830) Removes an incorrect definition of the [`nested` field datatype][0]. An [`object` datatype][1], which is used by the Elastic Common Schema, can also contain an array of objects as a value. The primary difference between the `object` and `nested` datatypes is that objects in a `nested `datatype can be queried independently. However, that distinction isn't needed or relevant here.
