Remove FieldMaskingSpanQuery (or fix its scoring)
-------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-3723
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3723
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 4.0
            Reporter: Robert Muir
         Attachments: LUCENE-3723_test.patch

In Lucene 4.0 we added new scoring mechanisms, but FieldMaskingSpanQuery is a 
serious problem:

Because it lies about the fields of its terms, this sometimes results in 
totally bogus
statistics, cases where a single terms totalTermFreq exceeds sumTotalTermFreq 
for the entire field (since its lying about it).

Such lying could result in NaN/Inf/Negative scores, exceptions, divide by zero, 
and other problems,
because the statistics are impossibly bogus.
