lib/{mergeset,storage}: properly limit cache sizes for indexdb
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.

app/vmstorage: export vm_cache_size_max_bytes metrics for determining capacity of various caches
The vm_cache_size_max_bytes metric can be used for determining caches which reach their capacity via the following query:

   vm_cache_size_bytes / vm_cache_size_max_bytes > 0.9

6e0553c92e lib/mergeset: cache indexBlock items only on the second request
This should reduce the indexdb/indexBlocks cache size, since it won't contain one-time-wonders items.

8aa9bba9bd lib/{mergeset,storage}: switch from sync.Pool to chan-based pool for inmemoryPart objects
This should reduce memory usage on systems with big number of CPU cores,
since every inmemoryPart object occupies at least 64KB of memory and sync.Pool maintains
a separate pool inmemoryPart objects per each CPU core.

Though the new scheme for the pool worsens per-cpu cache locality, this should be amortized
by big sizes of inmemoryPart objects.

78c9174682 lib/mergeset: increase pool capacity for inmemoryBlock according to collected profiles from production workload
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.

f71e4d1853 lib/mergeset: limit the frequency for flushCallback calls to once per 10 seconds
This should improve hit ratio for tagFiltersCache when big number of new time series are constantly registered
(aka high churn rate). This, in turn, should reduce CPU usage for queries over such time series.

c93cee8de8 lib/{mergeset,storage}: reduce the maximum lifetime for cached indexdb and data blocks from 2 minutes to a minute
This should reduce memory usage on a system with high number of active time series and a high churn rate.
One minute is enough for caching the blocks needed for repeated queries (e.g. alerting rules, recording rules and dashboard refreshes).

fc12484734 lib/mergeset: switch from sync.Pool to a channel for a pool for inmemoryBlock structs
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.

aa9b56a046 lib/{mergeset,storage}: reduce the number of fsync calls on data ingestion path on systems with many cpu cores
VictoriaMetrics maintains a buffer per CPU core for the ingested data. These buffers are flushed to disk every second.
These buffers are flushed to disk in parallel starting from the commit 56b6b893ce .
This resulted in increased write disk IO usage on systems with many cpu cores
as described at https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1338#issuecomment-863046999 .

This commit merges the per-CPU buffers into bigger in-memory buffers before flushing them to disk.
This should reduce the rate of fsync syscalls and, consequently, the write disk IO on systems with many CPU cores.

This should help https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1338

793fe39921 lib/mergeset: remove a pool for inmemoryBlock structs
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.

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.

48656dcc38 lib/{mergeset,storage}: allow merging smaller number of small parts
While this may increase CPU and disk IO usage needed for background merge,
this also recudes CPU usage during queries in production. This is because
such queries tend to read recently added data and it is better to have lower number
of parts for such data in order to reduce CPU usage.

e7959094f6 lib/storage: remove prioritizing of merging small parts over merging big parts, since it doesn't work as expected
The prioritizing could lead to big merge starvation, which could end up in too big number of parts that must be merged into big parts.

Multiple big merges may be initiated after the migration from v1.39.0 or v1.39.1. It is OK - these merges should be finished soon,
which should return CPU and disk IO usage to normal levels.
