This API (unexported) will estimate the amount of memory needed to execute
a search query over an index before the collector begins data collection.
Sample estimates for certain queries:
{Size: 10, BenchmarkUpsidedownSearchOverhead}
ESTIMATE BENCHMEM
TermQuery 4616 4796
MatchQuery 5210 5405
DisjunctionQuery (Match queries) 7700 8447
DisjunctionQuery (Term queries) 6514 6591
ConjunctionQuery (Match queries) 7524 8175
Nested disjunction query (disjunction of disjunctions) 10306 10708

+ Track memory usage at a segment level
+ Add a new scorch API: MemoryUsed()
- Aggregate the memory consumption across
segments when API is invoked.
+ TODO:
- Revisit the second iteration if it can be gotten
rid off, and the size accounted for during the first
run while building an in-mem segment.
- Accounting for pointer and slice overhead.
