---------------------------------------

    Attachment: LUCENE-2589.patch

Attached patch.

Just like for the fixed int block case, I added a MockVariableIntBlockCodec (in src/test), with a stupid variable-sized int block encoding.

These MockVariable/FixedIntBlockCodec serve as a good example of how one can take any low-level int encoder and turn it into a Lucene codec.

I also increased randomness of the codecs picked for testing, by adding params like block size (for both fixed & variable mock intblock codecs) and the freq cutoff for Pulsing.  So these configurations are now also randomly picked when running tests (= spikes on the monster's back).

> We already have support for fixed block size int block codecs, making it very simple to create a codec from a int encoder algorithms like FOR/PFOR.
> But algorithms like Simple9/16 are not fixed -- they encode a variable number of adjacent ints at once, depending on the specific values of those ints.
