Description

This was originally done in #7768 but then reverted due to issues with GeoHash encoding (which has since been removed). This issue will revert the GeoPoint encoding back to full 64 bit space which will synchronize quantization TOLERANCE between `LatLonPoint` and `GeoPointField`.

Research direction

The issue names GeoPointField and LatLonPoint but no source files or tests. Start by reviewing the earlier change in #7768 and the attached LUCENE-6996.patch, then compare the two fields' quantization behavior. Done means GeoPointField uses the full 64-bit space and its quantization tolerance is synchronized with LatLonPoint.
