Allow to specify `format` in the _source mapping to convert to that format when storing. This can allow to store the source is `smile` format even if its sent in `json`. There will be an overhead when sending back hits though and expecting to get it in json as it will need to convert from `smile` to `json` (it will do it automatically).
