- 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.
Create blockResultColumn.forEachDictValue* helper functions for visiting matching
dictionary values. These helper functions should prevent from counting dictionary values
without matching logs in the future.

encoding.GetUint64s() returns uninitialized slice, which may contain arbitrary values.
So values in this slice must be reset to zero before using it for counting hits in `uniq` and `top` pipes.
This simplifies pipeProcessor initialization logic a bit.
This also doesn't mangle the original maxStateSize value, which is used in error messages when the state size exceeds maxStateSize.
