The io/ioutil package is deprecated since Go1.16 - see https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.16#ioutil
VictoriaMetrics requires at least Go1.18, so it is time to remove the io/ioutil from source code
This is a follow-up for 02ca2342ab
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).

All the callers for fs.OpenReaderAt expect that the file will be opened.
So it is better to log fatal error inside fs.MustOpenReaderAt instead of leaving this to the caller.
This eliminates the need for storing block data into temporary files on a single-node VictoriaMetrics
during heavy queries, which touch big number of time series over long time ranges.
This improves single-node VM performance on heavy queries by up to 2x.
The maximum inmemory file size now depends on `-memory.allowedPercent`.
This should improve performance and reduce the number of filesystem calls
on machines with big amounts of RAM when performing heavy queries
over big number of samples and time series.
