vmctl: fixed import duplicate data when query result contains multiple series (#7330)
### Describe Your Changes

Fix https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/7301

When querying with condition like `WHERE a=1` (looking for series A),
InfluxDB can return data with the tag `a=1` (series A) and data with the
tag `a=1,b=1` (series B).

However, series B is will be queried later and it's data should not be
combined into series A's data.

This PR filter those series that are not identical to the original query
condition.

For table `example`:
```
// time                           host    region  value
// ----                           ----    ------  -----
// 2024-10-25T02:12:13.469720983Z serverA us_west 0.64
// 2024-10-25T02:12:21.832755213Z serverA us_west 0.75
// 2024-10-25T02:12:32.351876479Z serverA         0.88
// 2024-10-25T02:12:37.766320484Z serverA         0.95
```

The query for series A (`example_value{host="serverA"}`) and result will
be:
```SQL
SELECT * FROM example WHERE host = "serverA"
```
```json
{
	"results": [{
		"statement_id": 0,
		"series": [{
			"name": "cpu",
			"columns": ["time", "host", "region", "value"],
			"values": [
				["2024-10-25T02:12:13.469720983Z", "serverA", "us_west", 0.64],
				["2024-10-25T02:12:21.832755213Z", "serverA", "us_west", 0.75],
				["2024-10-25T02:12:32.351876479Z", "serverA", null, 0.88],
				["2024-10-25T02:12:37.766320484Z", "serverA", null, 0.95]
			]
		}]
	}]
}
```

We need to abandon `values[0]` and `values[1]` because the value of
**unwanted** column `region` is not null.

As for series B (`example_value{host="serverA", region="us_west"}`), no
change needed since the query filter out unwanted rows already.

### Note
This is a draft PR for verifying the fix.
