This should improve data ingestion speed if time series samples are ingested with interval bigger than 2 minutes.
The actual interval could exceed 2 minutes if the original interval between samples doesn't exceed 2 minutes
in the case of slow inserts. Slow inserts may appear in the following cases:
* Big number of new time series are pushed to VictoriaMetrics, so they couldn't be registered in 2 minutes.
* MetricName->tsid cache reset on indexdb rotation or due to unclean shutdown.
In this case VictoriaMetrics needs to load MetricName->tsid entries for all the incoming series from IndexDB.
IndexDB uses the block cache for increasing lookup performance. If the cache has no the needed block,
then IndexDB reads and unpacks the block from disk. This requires an extra disk read IO and CPU.

This also should increase performance for periodically executed queries with intervals from 2 minutes to 5 minutes.

It is possible that the timeout can be increased further. Let's collect production numbers for this change
so the timeout could be adjusted further.
- Optimize Cache.RemoveBlocksFromPart(), so it doesn't need to iterate over all the cached blocks.
- Cache blocks if there were no cache misses during the last 2 minutes.
This may be the case when new blocks are added simultaneously to the storage and to the cache.
