These caches aren't expected to grow big, so it is OK to use the most simplest cache based on sync.Map.
The benefit of this cache compared to workingsetcache is better scalability on systems with many CPU cores,
since it doesn't use mutexes at fast path.
An additional benefit is lower memory usage on average, since the size of in-memory cache equals
working set for the last 3 minutes.
The downside is that there is no upper bound for the cache size, so it may grow big during workload spikes.
But this is very unlikely for typical workloads.
Partition directories can be manually deleted and copied from another sources such as backups or other VitoriaLogs instances.
In this case the persisted cache becomes out of sync with partitions. This can result in missing index entries
during data ingestion or in incorrect results during querying. So it is better to do not persist caches.
This shouldn't hurt VictoriaLogs performance just after the restart too much, since its caches usually contain
small amounts of data, which can be quickly re-populated from the persisted data.
Unpack the full columnsHeader block instead of unpacking meta-information per each individual column
when the query, which selects all the columns, is executed. This improves performance when scanning
logs with big number of fields.
- Use parallel merge of per-CPU shard results. This improves merge performance on multi-CPU systems.
- Use topN heap sort of per-shard results. This improves performance when results contain millions of entries.

After adding multitenant query feature at v1.104.0, searchQuery wasn't
properly unmarshalled at bottom vmselect in multi-level cluster setup.
It resulted into empty query responses.
This commit adds fallback to Unmarshal method of SearchQuery to fill
TenantTokens. It allows to properly execute search requests
at vmselect side.

The purpose of this change is to reduce confusion between using
`flag.Duration` and `flagutils.Duration`. The reason is that
`flagutils.Duration` was mistakenly used for cases that required `m`
support. See

The change in name should clearly indicate the purpose of this data
type.

### Describe Your Changes
If a dict flag has only one value without a prefix it is supposed to
replace default value.
Previously, when flag was set to `-flag=2` and the default value in
`NewDictInt` was set to 1 the resulting value for any `flag.Get()` call
would be 1 which is not expected.
This commit updates default value for the flag in case there is only one
entry for flag and the entry is a number without a key.
This affects cluster version and specifically `replicationFactor` flag
usage with vmstorage [node
groups](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/cluster-victoriametrics/#vmstorage-groups-at-vmselect).
Previously, the following configuration would effectively be ignored:
```
/path/to/vmselect \
-replicationFactor=2 \
-storageNode=g1/host1,g1/host2,g1/host3 \
-storageNode=g2/host4,g2/host5,g2/host6 \
-storageNode=g3/host7,g3/host8,g3/host9
```
Changes from this PR will force default value for `replicationFactor`
flag to be set to `2` which is expected as the result of this
configuration.

```
query: _time: 5m | stats count(),

It has been appeared that VictoriaLogs is frequently used for collecting logs with tens of fields.
For example, standard Kuberntes setup on top of Filebeat generates more than 20 fields per each log.
Such logs are also known as "wide events".
The previous storage format was optimized for logs with a few fields. When at least a single field
was referenced in the query, then the all the meta-information about all the log fields was unpacked
and parsed per each scanned block during the query. This could require a lot of additional disk IO
and CPU time when logs contain many fields. Resolve this issue by providing an (field -> metainfo_offset)
index per each field in every data block. This index allows reading and extracting only the needed
metainfo for fields used in the query. This index is stored in columnsHeaderIndexFilename ( columns_header_index.bin ).
This allows increasing performance for queries over wide events by 10x and more.
Another issue was that the data for bloom filters and field values across all the log fields except of _msg
was intermixed in two files - fieldBloomFilename ( field_bloom.bin ) and fieldValuesFilename ( field_values.bin ).
This could result in huge disk read IO overhead when some small field was referred in the query,
since the Operating System usually reads more data than requested. It reads the data from disk
in at least 4KiB blocks (usually the block size is much bigger in the range 64KiB - 512KiB).
So, if 512-byte bloom filter or values' block is read from the file, then the Operating System
reads up to 512KiB of data from disk, which results in 1000x disk read IO overhead. This overhead isn't visible
for recently accessed data, since this data is usually stored in RAM (aka Operating System page cache),
but this overhead may become very annoying when performing the query over large volumes of data
which isn't present in OS page cache.
The solution for this issue is to split bloom filters and field values across multiple shards.
This reduces the worst-case disk read IO overhead by at least Nx where N is the number of shards,
while the disk read IO overhead is completely removed in best case when the number of columns doesn't exceed N.
Currently the number of shards is 8 - see bloomValuesShardsCount . This solution increases
performance for queries over large volumes of newly ingested data by up to 1000x.
The new storage format is versioned as v1, while the old storage format is version as v0.
It is stored in the partHeader.FormatVersion.
Parts with the old storage format are converted into parts with the new storage format during background merge.
It is possible to force merge by querying /internal/force_merge HTTP endpoint - see https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/#forced-merge .

So there is no sense in returning empty fields in query results, since they may mislead and confuse users.

s.partitions can be changed when new partition is registered or when old partition is dropped.
This could lead to data races and panics when s.partitions slice is accessed by concurrently executed queries.
The fix is to make a copy of the selected partitions under s.partitionsLock before performing the query.
This localizes blockSearch.getColumnsHeader() call at block_search.go .
This call is going to be optimized in the next commits in order to avoid
unmarshaling of header data for unneeded columns, which weren't requested
by getConstColumnValue() / getColumnHeader().
Refer the original byte slice with the marshaled columnsHeader for columns names and dictionary-encoded column values.
This improves query performance a bit when big number of blocks with big number of columns are scanned during the query.
