Description

Following closely the model of #6500 (which worked on ASCIIFoldingFilter), this patch adds the ability to preserve the original token to LowerCaseFilter. This is useful if you want an all-lowercase search term to match without regard to case, while search terms with uppercase letters match in a case-sensitive manner.

Research direction

Start by reading LowerCaseFilter and comparing it with the ASCIIFoldingFilter work referenced in #6500; the attached LUCENE-5620.patch is also available for context. Done means LowerCaseFilter can preserve the original token so lowercase terms match case-insensitively while uppercase terms retain case-sensitive matching.
