* We need a reference to multicore in CoreDescriptor because that is a
simple way to get a reference to the multicore rather than doing a
MultiCore.getInstance() (SOLR-638)
 * The question of should the single core be a multicore w/ one core
has been debated over and over and somehow we have decided that this
is best compromise we can do for backward compatibility. A lot of
users do not care about multicore and still go with the plain vanilla
single core deployment.
* A CoreDescriptor taking a null multicore instance is fine because
there is no multicore at all.
