Description

Each built-in analysis component (factory of tokenizer / char filter / token filter)  has a SPI name but currently this is not  documented anywhere.

The goals of this issue:

• Define SPI names as static final field for each analysis component so that users can get the component by name (via NAME static field.) This also provides compile time safety.
• Officially document the SPI names in Javadocs.
• Add proper source validation rules to ant validate-source-patterns target so that we can make sure that all analysis components have correct field definitions and documentation

and,

• Lookup SPI names on the new NAME fields. Instead deriving those from class names.

(Just for quick reference) we now have:

• 19 Tokenizers (TokenizerFactory.availableTokenizers())
• 6 CharFilters (CharFilterFactory.availableCharFilters())
• 118 TokenFilters (TokenFilterFactory.availableTokenFilters())
