Description

This task refactors Range fields as follows:

1. Remove the `Field` suffix to make them more consistent with their `Point` counterpart.
2. Graduate `InetAddressRange` from `sandbox` to `misc`
3. Graduate all other `*Range` classes (e.g. `DoubleRange`) from `sandbox` to `core`

Research direction

Start by reviewing the LUCENE-7740.patch attachment and locating the Range classes currently in sandbox, along with their usages and tests. The work is done when the Field suffix is removed, InetAddressRange is in misc, and the other *Range classes are in core with references and tests updated.
