Add FieldCache.getTermBytes, to load term data as byte[]
--------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-2380
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2380
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Michael McCandless
             Fix For: 3.1


With flex, a term is now an opaque byte[] (typically, utf8 encoded unicode 
string, but not necessarily), so we need to push this up the search stack.

FieldCache now has getStrings and getStringIndex; we need corresponding methods 
to load terms as native byte[], since in general they may not be representable 
as String.  This should be quite a bit more RAM efficient too, for US ascii 
content since each character would then use 1 byte not 2.
