Deprecate SimilarityDelegator and Similarity.lengthNorm
-------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-2854
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2854
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Michael McCandless
             Fix For: 3.1, 4.0


SimilarityDelegator is a back compat trap (see LUCENE-2828).

Apps should just [statically] subclass Sim or DefaultSim; if they really need 
"runtime subclassing" then they can make their own app-level delegator.

Also, Sim.computeNorm subsumes lengthNorm, so we should deprecate lengthNorm in 
favor of computeNorm.
