I've added missing enums classes, but everything else is looking good so
far.

>>   * Switches to a new more efficient terms dict format.  This still

>>     On first 1 M docs of Wikipedia, tii file is 36% smaller (0.99 MB
>>     -> 0.64 MB) and tis file is 9% smaller (75.5 MB -> 68.5 MB).
>> .
>>     RAM usage when loading terms dict index is significantly less
>>     since we only load an array of offsets and an array of String (no
>>     more TermInfo array).  It should be faster to init too.
>> .
>>     This part is basically done.
>>   * Introduces modular reader codec that strongly decouples terms dict
>>     from docs/positions readers.  EG there is no more TermInfo used
>>     when reading the new format.

>> FormatPostingsTermsDictWriter/Reader
>> FormatPostingsDocsWriter/Reader (.frq file) and
>> FormatPostingsPositionsWriter/Reader (.prx file).

>>     This part is basically done.

>> FieldProducer -> TermsEnum -> DocsEnum -> PostingsEnum

>>     This replaces TermEnum/Docs/Positions.  SegmentReader emulates the

>> Next steps:
>>   * Plug in new codecs (pulsing, pfor) to exercise the modularity /
