Description
Today we don't do this, and it can be annoying for tests (see LUCENE-6507).
But we should randomize between NIO/Simple. LuceneTestCase can "remember" which ones have been assigned and prevent the issue of opening IW with NIO and then making a new dir over the same path with simple and confusing the test.

Research direction
Start by reading LuceneTestCase and the existing NIO/Simple lock factory selection, then review LUCENE-6507 for the failure mode. Done means tests randomize between NIO and Simple while preventing conflicting lock-factory assignments for the same path.
