Given a directory and a list of fields, updates the fieldNorms in place for every document. If Similarity class is specified, uses its computeNorm method to set norms. If -n command line argument is used, removed field norms, as if Field.Index.NO_NORMS was used.

NOTE: This will overwrite any length normalization or field/document boosts.
