Description

TermInSetQuery currently iterates through all its prefix-encoded terms in order to build an array to pass back to its visitor when visit() is called.  This seems like a waste, particularly when the visitor is not actually consuming the terms (for example, when doing a clause-count check before executing a search).  Instead TermInSetQuery should use consumeTermsMatching(), and we should change the signature of this method so that it takes a BytesRunAutomaton supplier to allow for lazy instantiation.
