This allows to insert IDs to postings out of order until
a trigger function is called. This avoids the insertion sort we usually
do which can be very costly since WAL entries are more out of order than
regular adds.
IDs for new series are handed out before the postings are locked. Thus
series are not indexed in order of their IDs, which could result in only
partially sorted postings list.
Iterating over those silently skipped elements as the sort invariant was
violated.
* Test for a previous implematation of Intersect
Before we were moving the postings list everytime we create a new
chained `intersectPostings`. That was causing some postings to be
skipped. This test fails on the older version.

* Advance on Seek only when valid.
Issue:
Before in mergedPostings and others we advance everytime we `Seek`,
which causes issues with `Intersect`.
Take the case, where we have a mergedPostings = m merging, a: {10, 20, 30} and
b: {15, 25, 35}. Everytime we `Seek`, we do a.Seek and b.Seek.
Now if we Intersect m with {21, 22, 23, 30}, we would do Seek({21,22,23}) which
would advance a and b beyond 30.
Fix:
Now we advance only when the seeking value is greater than the current
value, as the definition specifies.
Also, posting 0 will not be a valid posting and will be used to signal
finished or un-initialized PostingsList.

* newIntersectPostings and newMergePostings should not advance passed
postings automatically.
* listPostings and bigEndianPostings should not panic with index out
of range when At() is called before Next()/Seek().
* Seek() call should advance listPostings/bigEndianPostings.
A bad test was introduced a couple of commits ago which also made
changes to pass the bad test. Fixed the test and revert the changes.
