all: add -inmemoryDataFlushInterval command-line flag for controlling the frequency of saving in-memory data to disk
The main purpose of this command-line flag is to increase the lifetime of low-end flash storage
with the limited number of write operations it can perform. Such flash storage is usually
installed on Raspberry PI or similar appliances.

For example, `-inmemoryDataFlushInterval=1h` reduces the frequency of disk write operations
to up to once per hour if the ingested one-hour worth of data fits the limit for in-memory data.

The in-memory data is searchable in the same way as the data stored on disk.
VictoriaMetrics automatically flushes the in-memory data to disk on graceful shutdown via SIGINT signal.
The in-memory data is lost on unclean shutdown (hardware power loss, OOM crash, SIGKILL).

lib/storage: stop background merge when storage enters read-only mode
This should prevent from `no space left on device` errors when VictoriaMetrics
under-estimates the additional disk space needed for background merge.

636c55b526 lib/mergeset: reduce memory usage for inmemoryBlock by using more compact items representation
This also should reduce CPU time spent by GC, since inmemoryBlock.items don't have pointers now,
so GC doesn't need visiting them.

a4140de9e6 lib/mergeset: unconditionally cache indexdb blocks
Production workloads show that indexdb blocks must be cached unconditionally for reducing CPU usage.
This shouldn't increase memory usage too much, since unused blocks are removed from the cache every two minutes.

aebc45ad26 lib/{mergeset,storage}: do not cache inverted index blocks containing tag->metricIDs items
This should reduce the amounts of used RAM during queries with filters over big number of time series.

0686ac52c3 lib/{storage,mergeset}: merge tag->metricID rows into tag->metricIDs rows for common tag values
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.
