On a 32 bit architecture the size of int is 32 bits. Thus converting from
int64, uint64 can overflow it and flip the sign.
Try for yourself in playground:
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
x := int64(0x1F0000001)
y := int64(1)
z := int32(x - y) // numerically this is 0x1F0000000
fmt.Printf("%v\n", z)
}
Prints -268435456 as if x was smaller.

The Next() call of ListPostings() was updating two values, while we can
just update the position. This is up to 30% faster for high number of
Postings.

Problem:
LabelValueStats - This will provide a list of the label names and memory used in bytes.
It is calculated by adding the length of all values for a given label name.
But internally Prometheus stores the name and the value independently for each series.
Solution:
MemPostings struct maintains the values to seriesRef map which is used
to get the number of series which contains the label values.
Using that LabelValueStats is calculated as: seriesCnt * len(value
name)

Wiser coders than myself have come to the conclusion that a `switch`
statement is almost always superior to a statement that includes any
`else if`.
The exceptions that I have found in our codebase are just these two:
* The `if else` is followed by an additional statement before the next
condition (separated by a `;`).
* The whole thing is within a `for` loop and `break` statements are
used. In this case, using `switch` would require tagging the `for`
loop, which probably tips the balance.
Why are `switch` statements more readable?
For one, fewer curly braces. But more importantly, the conditions all
have the same alignment, so the whole thing follows the natural flow
of going down a list of conditions. With `else if`, in contrast, all
conditions but the first are "hidden" behind `} else if `, harder to
spot and (for no good reason) presented differently from the first
condition.
I'm sure the aforemention wise coders can list even more reasons.
In any case, I like it so much that I have found myself recommending
it in code reviews. I would like to make it a habit in our code base,
without making it a hard requirement that we would test on the CI. But
for that, there has to be a role model, so this commit eliminates all
`if else` occurrences, unless it is autogenerated code or fits one of
the exceptions above.

In the head and in v1 postings on disk, it makes no difference whether
postings are sorted. Only for v2 does the code step through in order.
So, move the sorting to where it is required, and thus skip it entirely
in the head.
Label values in on-disk blocks are already sorted, but `slices.Sort` is
very fast on already-sorted data so we don't bother checking.

Instead of passing in a `ScratchBuilder` and `Labels`, just pass the
builder and the caller can extract labels from it. In many cases the
caller didn't use the Labels value anyway.
Now in `Labels.ScratchBuilder` we need a slightly different API: one
to assign what will be the result, instead of overwriting some other
`Labels`. This is safer and easier to reason about.

This necessitates a change to the `tsdb.IndexReader` interface:
`index.Reader` is used from multiple goroutines concurrently, so we
can't have state in it.
We do retain a `ScratchBuilder` in `blockBaseSeriesSet` which is
iterator-like.

* Add BenchmarkOpenBlock
* Use specific types when reading offset table
Instead of reading a generic-ish []string, we can read a generic type
which would be specifically labels.Label.
This avoid allocating a slice that escapes to the heap, making it both
faster and more efficient in terms of memory management.
* Update error message for unexpected number of keys
* s/posting offset table/postings offset table/
* Remove useless lastKey assignment
* Use two []bytes vars, simplify
Applied PR feedback: removed generics, moved the label indices reading
to that specific test as we're not using it in production anyway, we're
just testing what we've just built.
Also using two []bytes variables for name and value that use the backing
buffer instead of using strings, this reduces allocations a lot as we
only copy them when we store them (this is optimized by the compiler).
* Fix the dumb bug

Use new experimental package `golang.org/x/exp/slices`.
slices.Sort works on values that are directly comparable, like ints,
so avoids the overhad of an interface call to `.Less()`.
Left tests unchanged, because they don't need the speed and it may be
a cross-check that slices.Sort gives the same answer.

Use new experimental package `golang.org/x/exp/slices`.
Some of the speedup comes from comparing SeriesRef (which is an int64)
directly rather than through an interface `.Less()` call; some comes
from exp/slices using "pattern-defeating quicksort(pdqsort)".

* tsdb: use pointer type in Pool for EnsureOrder
As noted by staticcheck, Pool prefers the objects in the pool to have
pointer type. This is a little more fiddly to code, but avoids
allocation of a wrapper object every time a slice is put into the pool.
Removed a comment that said fixing this has a performance penalty: not
borne out by benchmarks.

TL;DR: if we don't call Pop() on the heap implementation, we don't need
to return our param as an `interface{}` so we save an allocation.
This would be popped for every label value, so it can be thousands of
saved allocations here (see benchmarks).

Added validation to expected postings length compared to the bytes slice
length. With 32bit postings, we expect to have 4 bytes per each posting.
If the number doesn't add up, we know that the input data is not
compatible with our code (maybe it's cut, or padded with trash, or even
written in a different coded).
This is needed in downstream projects to correctly identify cached
postings written with an unknown codec, but it's also a good idea to
validate it here.

* TSDB: demistify seriesRefs and ChunkRefs
The TSDB package contains many types of series and chunk references,
all shrouded in uint types. Often the same uint value may
actually mean one of different types, in non-obvious ways.
This PR aims to clarify the code and help navigating to relevant docs,
usage, etc much quicker.
Concretely:
* Use appropriately named types and document their semantics and
relations.
* Make multiplexing and demuxing of types explicit
(on the boundaries between concrete implementations and generic
interfaces).
* Casting between different types should be free. None of the changes
should have any impact on how the code runs.

This saves memory, effort and locking.
Since every symbol is also added to postings, `Symbols()` can be
implemented there instead. This now has to build a map for
deduplication, but `Symbols()` is only called for compaction, and `gc()`
used to rebuild the symbols map after every compaction so not an
additional cost.

The previous code re-used series IDs 1-1000 many times over, so a lot
of time was spent ensuring the lists of series were in ascending order.
The intended use of `MemPostings.Add()` is that all series IDs are
unique, and changing the benchmark to do this lets it finish ten times
faster.
