Description

When searching for indexed non-point shapes (such as polygons), there are redundant cells which can be skipped at the bottom "detail level" of the search. This won't be a problem once LUCENE-4942 is fixed since there then won't be any but it's easy to fix now.

This affects all predicates RecursivePrefixTreeStrategy uses except Contains.
