Previously bytesutil.Resize() was copying the original byte slice contents to a newly allocated slice.
This wasted CPU cycles and memory bandwidth in some places, where the original slice contents wasn't needed
after slize resizing. Switch such places to bytesutil.ResizeNoCopy().
Rename the original bytesutil.Resize() function to bytesutil.ResizeWithCopy() for the sake of improved readability.
Additionally, allocate new slice with `make()` instead of `append()`. This guarantees that the capacity of the allocated slice
exactly matches the requested size. The `append()` could return a slice with bigger capacity as an optimization for further `append()` calls.
This could result in excess memory usage when the returned byte slice was cached (for instance, in lib/blockcache).

CPU and memory profiles show that the pool capacity for inmemoryBlock objects is too small.
This results in the increased load on memory allocation code in Go runtime.
Increase the pool capacity in order to reduce the load on Go runtime.
This should reduce memory usage for the pool on systems with big number of CPU cores.
The sync.Pool maintains per-CPU pools, so the total number of objects in the pool
is proportional to the number of available CPU cores. The channel limits the number
of pooled objects by its own capacity. This means smaller number of pooled objects on average.
The pool for inmemoryBlock struct doesn't give any performance gains in production workloads,
while it may result in excess memory usage for inmemoryBlock structs inside the pool during
background merge of indexdb.
This should improve lookup performance if the same `label=value` pair exists
in big number of time series.
This should also reduce memory usage for mergeset data cache, since `tag->metricIDs` rows
occupy less space than the original `tag->metricID` rows.
