speed up automaton seeking in nextString

                 Key: LUCENE-2672
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2672
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Search
            Reporter: Robert Muir
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 4.0


While testing, i found there are some queries (e.g. wildcard ?????????) that do 
quite a lot of backtracking.

nextString doesn't handle this particularly well, when it walks the DFA, if it 
hits a dead-end and needs to backtrack, it increments the bytes, and starts 
over completely.

alternatively it could save the path information in an int[], and backtrack() 
could return a position to restart from, instead of just a boolean.
