[LUCENE-1269] Analysers and Filters should not be final

Description

I am trying to extend some Lucene Analysers to further improve their behaviour. However, some Analysers and Filters are final classes that I cannot extend (thus resorting to copying the class, which is less than optimal).

Any reason we would want to inhibit people from extending a class like FrenchAnalyzer?

Could me make all Analysers and Filters in the contrib-analysis package non-final?
