> don't write a norm of infinity when analyzer returns no tokens

>
> When a document doesn't have the field, we fill with zero. when a segment
> doesn't have the field, we also fill with zero.
> however, when the analyzer doesn't return any terms for the field, we still
> call similarity.computeNorm(0)... with the default similarity this encodes
> infinity... -1
> in such a case, it doesnt really matter what the norm is, since it has no
> terms. But its more efficient for e.g. compression if we consistently use
> zero.
