> Spinoff of LUCENE-8007:
> If you omit term frequencies, we should score as if all tf values were 1.
> This is the way it worked for e.g. ClassicSimilarity and you can understand
> how it degrades.
> However for sims such as BM25, we bail out on computing avg doclength (and
> just return a bogus value of 1) today, screwing up stuff related to length
> normalization too, which is separate.
> Instead of a bogus value, we should substitute sumDocFreq for
> sumTotalTermFreq (all postings have freq of 1, since you omitted them).
