Preloads .vec and .vex files

LuceneFlatVectorReader uses IOContext.Random to open the read. IOContext.Random
indicates the kernel to not read ahead the pages on to physical memory.
This causes an increase in merge time due to increase of read ops at
runtime.

The preload settings signals the kernal to preload the files when the
reader is opened
