Backporting #125403 to the 8.x branch.
The doc values codec iterates a few times over the doc value instance that needs to be written to disk. In case when merging and index sorting is enabled, this is much more expensive, as each time the doc values instance is iterated a merge sorting is performed (in order to get the doc ids of new segment in order of index sorting).
There are several reasons why the doc value instance is iterated multiple times:
This applies for numeric doc values, but also for the ordinals of sorted (set) doc values.
This PR addresses solving the first reason why doc value instance needs to be iterated. This is done only when in case of merging and when the segments to be merged with are also of type es87 doc values, codec version is the same and there are no deletes. Note this optimized merged is behind a feature flag for now.
