Viktor Lofgren 36160988e2 (index) Integrate positions data with indexes WIP
This change integrates the new positions data with the forward and reverse indexes.

The ranking code is still only partially re-written.

Forward Index

The forward index contains a mapping from document id to various forms of document metadata.

In practice, the forward index consists of two files, an id file and a data file.

The id file contains a list of sorted document ids, and the data file contains metadata for each document id, in the same order as the id file, with a fixed size record containing data associated with each document id.

Each record contains a binary encoded DocumentMetadata object, as well as a HtmlFeatures bitmask.

Unlike the reverse index, the forward index is not split into two tiers, and the data is in the same order as it is in the source data, and the cardinality of the document IDs is assumed to fit in memory, so it's relatively easy to construct.
