Fixes #6698
A simple fix to remove the unmapped_type option if sorting on the _score field now that Elasticsearch no longer supports it: elastic/elasticsearch#17392 (comment)
Upon review, normalizeSortRequest seemed like a natural place to put something like this since it already contains special logic to handle different kinds of fields (e.g. scripted fields).
