LUCENE-9330: Make SortFields responsible for index sorting and serialization (#1440)
This commit adds a new class IndexSorter which handles how a sort should be applied
to documents in an index:

* how to serialize/deserialize sort info in the segment header
* how to sort documents within a segment
* how to sort documents from merging segments

SortField has a getIndexSorter() method, which will return null if the sort cannot be used
to sort an index (eg if it uses scores or other query-dependent values). This also requires a
new Codec as there is a change to the SegmentInfoFormat
