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).

Previously these caches could exceed limits set via `-memory.allowedPercent` and/or `-memory.allowedBytes`,
since limits were set independently per each data part. If the number of data parts was big, then limits could be exceeded,
which could result to out of memory errors.

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.
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.
This should improve inverted index search performance for filters matching big number of time series,
since `lib/uint64set.Set` is faster than `map[uint64]struct{}` for both `Add` and `Has` calls.
See the corresponding benchmarks in `lib/uint64set`.
