app/vmselect/promql: properly handle duplicate series when merging cached results with the results obtained from the database

evalRollupFuncNoCache() may return time series with identical labels (aka duplicate series)
when performing queries satisfying all the following conditions:

- It must select time series with multiple metric names. For example, {__name__=~"foo|bar"}
- The series selector must be wrapped into rollup function, which drops metric names. For example, rate({__name__=~"foo|bar"})
- The rollup function must be wrapped into aggregate function, which has no streaming optimization.
  For example, quantile(0.9, rate({__name__=~"foo|bar"})

In this case VictoriaMetrics shouldn't return `cannot merge series: duplicate series found` error.
Instead, it should fall back to query execution with disabled cache.

Also properly store the merged results. Previously they were incorrectly stored because of a typo
introduced in the commit 41a0fdaf39
