Description
I was working on improving some sample code and I needed to access a value via a ValueSource given a docid in search results. I was disappointed to see how many steps were needed. Incidentally, Solr had to solve the same problem, and it's got ValueSourceAugmenter for this. I propose a small utility class be created to do something similar, such that the client can merely create an instance and then call a method with a doc id to retrieve the value.

Research direction
Start by reviewing Lucene's ValueSource API and Solr's ValueSourceAugmenter, both named in the issue, to understand the existing steps for retrieving a value by document ID. Done means providing a small utility that lets a client create an instance and retrieve the ValueSource value with a doc ID.
