> Currently, URL-driven SolrClients receive a URL that typically ends in "/solr".  Requiring users to specify this context-root in their URLs has made sense historically, since all v1 paths start with "/solr".  But this has become limiting as Solr's v2 APIs (which use the "/api" context root) become more mature. 
> SolrJ has some string manipulation in a few spots to try to accomodate this, but it's patchy and relatively brittle (relying on overly specific 'instanceof' checks, etc.).  We should come up with a more reliable way to ensure that SolrClient's can make both v1 and v2 requests.
> Here's one idea for how we could approach this:
> # Create a new SolrRequest method to specify the context root on a per-request basis.  We could either do this directly (e.g. "getRootPath()"), or indirectly (e.g. "isV2()").
> # Modify SolrClients to consider both the new method and the existing "getPath" when sending requests.
> # Add logic to SolrJ to strip "/solr" from any provided base URLs, and document that SolrClient URLs no longer require the "/solr" context-root suffix.
