LUCENE-7337: empty boolean query now rewrites to MatchNoDocsQuery instead of
vice/versa
> MultiTermQuery are sometimes rewritten into an empty boolean query

>
> MultiTermQuery are sometimes rewritten to an empty boolean query (depending
> on the rewrite method), it can happen when no expansions are found on a fuzzy
> query for instance.
> It can be problematic when the multi term query is boosted.
> For instance consider the following query:
> `((title:bar~1)^100 text:bar)`
> This is a boolean query with two optional clauses. The first one is a fuzzy
> query on the field title with a boost of 100.
> If there is no expansion for "title:bar~1" the query is rewritten into:
> `(()^100 text:bar)`
> ... and when expansions are found:
> `((title:bars | title:bar)^100 text:bar)`
> The scoring of those two queries will differ because the normalization factor
> and the norm for the first query will be equal to 1 (the boost is ignored
> because the empty boolean query is not taken into account for the computation
> of the normalization factor) whereas the second query will have a
> normalization factor of 10,000 (100*100) and a norm equal to 0.01.
> This kind of discrepancy can happen in a single index because the expansions
> for the fuzzy query are done at the segment level. It can also happen when
> multiple indices are requested (Solr/ElasticSearch case).
> A simple fix would be to replace the empty boolean query produced by the
> multi term query with a MatchNoDocsQuery but I am not sure that it's the best
> way to fix. WDYT ?
