Major Description
I came across this precursor while working on LUCENE-6005:
I think FieldInfo.normsType can only be null (field did not index
norms) or DocValuesType.NUMERIC (it did). I'd like to simplify to
just boolean hasNorms.
This is a strange boolean, though: in theory it should be derived from
indexed && omitNorms == false, but we have it for the exceptions
case where every document in a segment hit an exception and never
added norms. I think this is the only reason it exists? (In theory,
such cases should result in 100% deleted segments, which IW should
then drop ... but seems dangerous to "rely" on that).
So I changed the indexing chain to just fill in the default (0) norms
for all documents in such exceptional cases; this way going forward
(starting with 5.0 indices) we really don't need this hasNorms. But
we still need it for pre-5.0 indices...
