Support for testing analysis components.

 The main classes of interest are: * <xref:Lucene.Net.Analysis.BaseTokenStreamTestCase>: Highly recommended to use its helper methods, (especially in conjunction with <xref:Lucene.Net.Analysis.MockAnalyzer> or <xref:Lucene.Net.Analysis.MockTokenizer>), as it contains many assertions and checks to catch bugs. * <xref:Lucene.Net.Analysis.MockTokenizer>: Tokenizer for testing. Tokenizer that serves as a replacement for WHITESPACE, SIMPLE, and KEYWORD tokenizers. If you are writing a component such as a TokenFilter, its a great idea to test it wrapping this tokenizer instead for extra checks. * <xref:Lucene.Net.Analysis.MockAnalyzer>: Analyzer for testing. Analyzer that uses MockTokenizer for additional verification. If you are testing a custom component such as a queryparser or analyzer-wrapper that consumes analysis streams, its a great idea to test it with this analyzer instead.
