Description
Simple text codec add skip list data( include impact) to help understand index format，For debugging, curiosity, transparency only!! When term's docFreq greater than or equal to SimpleTextSkipWriter.BLOCK_SIZE (default value is 8), Simple text codec will write skip list, the .pst (simple text term dictionary file) file will looks like this

compare with previous，we add skipList，level, skipDoc, skipDocFP, impacts, impact, freq, norm nodes, at the same, simple text codec can support advanceShallow when search time.
Why there has question mark symbol in the file ?
Because the MultiLevelSkipListWriter will write "length" and "childPointer" with VLong
This speed up search process ?
No!!! It can be advanceShallow when search, but why not speed up yet? Because the skip list data after docs(see the file described before), it must iterate all docs before read skip list data, so it never speed up search time. it has no "skipOffset" to direct read skip list data, but as mentioned before, it is For debugging, curiosity, transparency only!! If this is a problem, may be the next time, i can add "skipOffset", so we can read skip list data directly.
