Description

Spinoff from here:

http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/lucene-java-user/200804.mbox/[e-mail]%3e

I think we should add maxDoc() and numDocs() methods to IndexWriter,
and deprecate docCount() in favor of maxDoc(). To do this I think we
should cache the deletion count of each segment in the segments file.
