The problem is, that due to the "filtering" AFTER having searched the index, we 
don't know how many TopDocs to read in order have "enough" for page x.

Does lucene's search allow injecting kind of a "voter"/"vetoer", which is 
called for any hit (ScoreDoc) lucene has encountered. This voter should be able 
to reject the given hit from TopDocs (by returning false). Can this be done 
with a custom Filter?
This of course comes with a performance penalty, but it would allow to search 
for n ScoreDocs, even in our case...
