Dave Borowitz 7e638dc280 Support generic indexes in LuceneVersionManager
The original change Id6c58a595 wasn't ready and broke master.
The revert was I5d56a163; this reverts the revert.

Due to a mistake in a condition in LuceneVersionManager#start()
method writer index was never initialized and thus reindexing
of changes was broken. All tests were still passing because the
tests are using SingleVersionModule and not MultiVersionModule.

This reverts commit 6247b52f41.

= gerrit index start
== NAME
gerrit index start - Start the online indexer
== SYNOPSIS
--
'ssh' -p @SSH_PORT@ @SSH_HOST@ 'gerrit index start <index>'
--
== DESCRIPTION
Gerrit supports online index schema upgrades. When starting Gerrit for the first
time after an upgrade that requires an index schema upgrade, the online indexer
will be started. If the schema upgrade is a success, the new index will be
activated and if it fails, a statement in the logs will be printed with the
number of successfully/failed indexed changes.
This command allows restarting the online indexer without having to restart
Gerrit. This command will not start the indexer if it is already running or if
the active index is the latest.
The <index> argument controls which secondary index is started. Currently, the
only supported value is "changes".
== ACCESS
Caller must be a member of the privileged 'Administrators' group.
== SCRIPTING
This command is intended to be used in scripts.
