Description
Spinoff from #7975...
`BBoxStrategy` uses `LegacyNumericType` but could probably cutover to dimensional values instead?
But this is a major change: it would require re-indexing on upgrade...

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with BBoxStrategy and its use of LegacyNumericType, then read the related context in issue #7975 and the migrated LUCENE-6931 report. Determine whether replacing it with dimensional values is viable and account for the stated re-indexing requirement; done would mean an agreed migration approach for this major upgrade change.
