Maintain norms in a single file .nrm

                 Key: LUCENE-756
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-756
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Doron Cohen
            Priority: Minor


Non-compound indexes are ~10% faster at indexing, and perform 50% IO activity 
comparing to compound indexes. But their file descriptors foot print is much 
higher. 

By maintaining all field norms in a single .nrm file, we can bound the number 
of files used by non compound indexes, and possibly allow more applications to 
use this format.

More details on the motivation for this in:
