make Query.createWeight public (or add back Query.createQueryWeight())

                 Key: LUCENE-1808
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1808
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Query/Scoring
    Affects Versions: 2.9
            Reporter: Tim Smith


Now that the QueryWeight class has been removed, the public QueryWeight 
createQueryWeight() method on Query was also removed

i have cases where i want to create a weight for a sub query (outside of the 
org.apache.lucene.search package) and i don't want the weight normalized (think 
BooleanQuery outside of the o.a.l.search package)

in order to do this, i have to create a static Utils class inside o.a.l.search, 
pass in the Query and searcher, and have the static method call the protected 
createWeight method
this should not be necessary

This could be fixed in one of 2 ways:
1. make createWeight() public on Query (breaks back compat)
2. add the following method:
{code}
public Weight createQueryWeight(Searcher searcher) throws IOException {
  return createWeight(searcher);
}
{code}

createWeight(Searcher) should then be deprectated in favor of the publicly 
accessible method
