Description

Nobody should speak of "query types" any more; it's "request handlers". I understand we want to retain the "qt" parameter as such but I think we should change the names of it wherever we can find it. We can leave some older API methods in place as deprecated.

As an example, in SolrJ I have to call solrQuery.setQueryType("/blah") instead of setRequestHandler()
