add "don't cache docList" option

                 Key: SOLR-291
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-291
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: search
            Reporter: Koji Sekiguchi
            Priority: Minor


WHAT:
A flag "noCacheIfLarger" is added to <queryResultWindowSize/> tag, i.e. 
<queryResultWindowSize noCacheIfLarger="true">50</queryResultWindowSize>. The 
flag can be omitted and the default is false.

If this flag is set to true and user requires more results (in this case, 
start>=50), SolrIndexSearcher doesn't put the docList into queryResultCache.

WHY(USE CASE):
The Solr administrator can calculate *max* memory consumption for filterCache 
and documentCache as follows:

filterCache: BitDocSet size * max size (cache entries)
documentCache: average document size * max size (cache entries)

however, the memory consumtion for queryResultCache is unpredictable.

With this patch, if the administrator wants to control memory consumtion more 
strict, he can set queryResultWindowSize with noCacheIfLarger="true".
