Make it posible not to include TF information in index
------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-1340
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1340
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Index
            Reporter: Eks Dev
            Priority: Minor


Term Frequency is typically not needed  for all fields, some CPU (reading one 
VInt less and one X>>>1...) and IO can be spared by making pure boolen fields 
possible in Lucene. This topic has already been discussed and accepted as a 
part of Flexible Indexing... This issue tries to push things a bit faster 
forward as I have some concrete customer demands.

benefits can be expected for fields that are typical candidates for Filters, 
enumerations, user rights, IDs or very short "texts", phone  numbers, zip 
codes, names...

Status: just passed standard test (compatibility), commited for early review, I 
have not tried new feature, missing some asserts and one two unit tests

Complexity: simpler than expected

can be used via omitTf() (who used omitNorms() will know where to find it :)
