Patch for Andrew Niefer:

core:
- created new search pattern OrPattern, which returns a match if any of 
its constituent pattens return a match.

To use it, do something like:
OrPattern orPattern = new OrPattern();
orPattern.addPattern( SearchEngine.createSearchPattern( "::NS::B::e", 
ENUM, REFERENCES, true ) );
orPattern.addPattern( SearchEngine.createSearchPattern( "Hea*", CLASS, 
DECLARATIONS, true ) );

Searching for all occurences of something now uses the OrPattern. ie, 
SearchEngine.createSearchPattern( "A", TYPE, ALL_OCCURENCES, true );
is the same as
OrPattern orPattern = new OrPattern();
orPattern.addPattern( SearchEngine.createSearchPattern( "f", FUNCTION, 
DECLARATIONS, true ) );
orPattern.addPattern( SearchEngine.createSearchPattern( "f", FUNCTION, 
REFERENCES, true ) );
orPattern.addPattern( SearchEngine.createSearchPattern( "f", FUNCTION, 
DEFINITIONS, true ) );

For large projects this is much more efficient than the old method of 
finding all occurences

core.tests:
- added ClassDeclarationPatternTests.testAllOccurences
- added OtherPatternTests.testOrPattern
