LUCENE-10291: Don't use CFS in testMinimalCodec (#593)

This test was occasionally failing on CI, as the test randomly installed a 
merge policy
that would force compound file creation while the goal of the test was not to 
do so.

> Only read/write postings when there is at least one indexed field

> Unlike points, norms, term vectors or doc values which only get written to 
> the directory when at least one of the fields uses the data structure, 
> postings always get written to the directory.
> While this isn't hurting much, it can be surprising at times, e.g. if you 
> index with SimpleText you will have a file for postings even though none of 
> the fields indexes postings. This inconsistency is hidden with the default 
> codec due to the fact that it uses PerFieldPostingsFormat, which only 
> delegates to any of the per-field codecs if any of the fields is actually 
> indexed, so you don't actually get a file if none of the fields is indexed.
> We noticed this behavior by creating a codec that throws 
> UnsupportedOperationException for postings since it's not expected to have 
> postings, and it always fails writing or reading data. While it's easy to 
> work around this issue on top of Lucene by using a dummy postings format, it 
> would be better to fix Lucene to handle postings consistently with other data 
> structures?
