Clone proxStream lazily in SegmentTermPositions
-----------------------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-761
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-761
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Index
            Reporter: Michael Busch
            Priority: Minor


In SegmentTermPositions the proxStream should be cloned lazily, i. e. at the 
first time nextPosition() is called. Then the initialization costs of 
TermPositions are not higher anymore compared to TermDocs and thus there is no 
reason anymore for Scorers to use TermDocs instead of TermPositions. In fact, 
all Scorers should use TermPositions, because custom subclasses of existing 
scorers might want to access payloads, which is only possible via 
TermPositions. We could further merge SegmentTermDocs and SegmentTermPositions 
into one class and deprecate the interface TermDocs.

I'm going to attach a patch once the payloads feature (LUCENE-755) is committed.
