omitTF is viral, but omitNorms is anti-viral.

Key: LUCENE-2846
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2846
Project: Lucene - Java
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Robert Muir
omitTF is viral. if you add document 1 with field "foo" as omitTF, then
document 2 has field "foo" without omitTF, they are both treated as omitTF.
but omitNorms is the opposite. if you have a million documents with field "foo"
with omitNorms, then you add just one document without omitting norms,
now you suddenly have a million 'real norms'.
I think it would be good for omitNorms to be viral too, just for consistency,
and also to prevent huge byte[]'s.
but another option is to make omitTF anti-viral, which is more "schemaless" i
guess.
