Disallow setBoost() on StringField, throw exception if boosts are set if norms
are omitted
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LUCENE-3796
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3796
Project: Lucene - Java
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Robert Muir
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: 4.0
Occasionally users are confused why index-time boosts are not applied to their
norms-omitted fields.
This is because we silently discard the boost: there is no reason for this!
The most absurd part: in 4.0 you can make a StringField and call setBoost and
nothing complains... (more reasons to remove StringField totally in my opinion)
