This adds various new locks to replace the single big lock on
the head. All parts now must be COW as they may be held by clients
after initial retrieval.
Series by ID and hashes are now held in a stripe lock to reduce
contention and total holding time during GC. This should reduce
starvation of readers.
* 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.

The former approach created unordered postings list by either
map iteration of new series being unsorted (fixable) or concurrent
writers creating new series interleaved.
We switch back to generating ephemeral references for a single batch.
Newly created series have to be re-set upon the next insert.
