Current take is to add PostingsEnum.setMinCompetitiveScore which defaults to a 
no-op, and TermsEnum.topPostings(SimScorer) which returns a postings that 
should be able to skip low-scoring documents and delegates to 
TermsEnum.postings(null, PostingsEnum.FREQS) by default.

I like it, clean simple and minimally invasive. Don't think we should feel bad 
about passing the scoring function in here, it makes sense.

> Thats an example of something similar to impact indexing (though, his 
> implementation currently stores a max for the entire term, the problem is the 
> same).
> We can imagine other similar algorithms too: I think the codec API should be 
> able to support these.
> Currently it really doesnt: Stefan worked around the problem by providing a 
> tool to 'rewrite' your index, he passes the IndexReader and Similarity to it. 
> But it would be better if we fixed the codec API.
> One problem is that the Postings writer needs to have access to the 
> Similarity. Another problem is that it needs access to the term and 
> collection statistics up front, rather than after the fact.
> This might have some cost (hopefully minimal), so I'm thinking to experiment 
> in a branch with these changes and see if we can make it work well.
