Answering my own question - add optional new MatchAllDocsQuery("text") clause
to factor in the encoded norms from the "text" field.

Subject: 3.6 - querying a no-norms field and getting document boost
I have a 3.6 index with many no-norms fields and a single text field with norms
(a fairly common configuration). There is a document boost I have set at
index-time that will have been encoded into the text field's norms.
If I query solely on a non-text field then the ranking does not apply the
document-level boost.
Without re-indexing and adding norms where I don't want them, how do I most
elegantly query field "A" and factor in the doc-boost already recorded in the
"text" field's norms?
I appreciate DocValues in 4.x helps in this regard but looking for a clean/fast
3.6-based solution.
Any suggestions?
