LUCENE-9418: Fix ordered intervals over interleaved terms (#1618)

Given the input text 'A B A C', an ordered interval 'A B C' will currently return an incorrect
internal [2, 3] in addition to the correct [0, 3] interval. This is due to a bug in the ORDERED
algorithm, where we assume that after the first interval is returned, the sub-intervals are
always in-order. This assumption only holds during minimization, as minimizing an interval
may move the earlier terms beyond the trailing terms.

For example, after the initial [0, 3] interval is found above, the algorithm will attempt to
minimize it by advancing A to [2,2]. Because this is still before C at [3,3], but after B at
[1,1], we then try advancing B, leaving it at [Inf,Inf]. Minimization has failed, so we return
the original interval of [0,3]. However, when we come to retrieve the next interval, our
subintervals look like this: A[2,2], B[Inf,Inf], C[3,3] - the assumption that they are in order
is broken. The algorithm sees that A is before B, assumes that therefore all subsequent
subintervals are in order, and returns the new interval.

This commit fixes things by changing the assumption of ordering to only hold during
minimization. When first finding a candidate interval, the algorithm now checks that
all sub-intervals appear in order.
