I think we should move TrieRange* into core before 2.9?

It's received alot of attention, from both developers (Uwe & Yonik did
lots of iterations, and Solr is folding it in) and user interest.

It's a simpler & more scalable way to index numeric fields that you
intend to sort and/or do range querying on; we can do away with tricky
number padding.

Plus it's just plain cool :)

I also think we should change its name.  I know and love "trie", but
it's a very technical term that's not immediately meaningful to users
of Lucene's API.  Plus I've learned from doing too many renamings
lately that it's best to try to get the name right at the start.

Maybe just NumberUtils, IntRangeFilter, LongRangeFilter,
AbstractNumberRangeFilter?

Thoughts?

Mike
