Rather than keeping the offset of each postings list, instead
keep the nth offset of the offset of the posting list. As postings
list offsets have always been sorted, we can then get to the closest
entry before the one we want an iterate forwards.
I haven't done much tuning on the 32 number, it was chosen to try
not to read through more than a 4k page of data.
Switch to a bulk interface for fetching postings. Use it to avoid having
to re-read parts of the posting offset table when querying lots of it.
For a index with what BenchmarkHeadPostingForMatchers uses RAM
for r.postings drops from 3.79MB to 80.19kB or about 48x.
Bytes allocated go down by 30%, and suprisingly CPU usage drops by
4-6% for typical queries too.
