89f107fa00 enhance: optimize RPC protobuf decoding with fastpb codec (#50743)
issue: #50742

## What this PR does

Optimizes protobuf decoding on Milvus RPC read/write hot paths with a
hand-written decoder in `pkg/util/fastpb`. The final change contains no
gRPC connection-pool or connection-count changes.

## Fast decoder coverage

The gRPC `releaseCodec.Unmarshal` path dispatches these top-level
messages to fastpb:

- `internalpb.RetrieveResults`
- `milvuspb.InsertRequest`
- `milvuspb.UpsertRequest`

`schemapb.SearchResultData` is not a top-level codec-dispatched message.
It is decoded directly from `SlicedBlob` at the search/reduce hot paths
in:

- `internal/proxy/search_reduce_util.go`
- `internal/querynodev2/segments/result.go`
- `internal/querynodev2/local_worker.go`
- `internal/querynodev2/tasks/search_task_go_reduce.go`

Nested hot messages such as `FieldData`, scalar/vector arrays, and IDs
are decoded by the same package.

Main optimizations:

- varchar string arrays use one backing byte arena, reducing per-string
allocations
- packed float vectors use a single memcpy into self-owned memory
- cold, complex, unknown, and mismatched fields delegate or merge
through the official protobuf codec
- no new external dependency or source-buffer aliasing

## Compatibility boundary

The compatibility contract depends on the data path:

- **Untrusted client ingress (`InsertRequest` and `UpsertRequest`)**
validates proto3 strings as UTF-8 and is tested differentially against
`proto.Unmarshal`, including malformed input behavior.
- **Trusted internal result paths (`SearchResultData`,
`RetrieveResults`, and direct `FieldData` decoding)** assume canonical
Milvus/segcore protobuf output and intentionally skip UTF-8 validation
for performance. Therefore these paths do not claim equivalence for
arbitrary adversarial wire containing invalid UTF-8.

Within that boundary, the decoder preserves the protobuf behaviors
exercised by the differential tests:

- proto2 groups fall back to the official codec
- known fields with mismatched wire types fall back to the official
codec
- unknown and future fields are preserved through an official merge pass
- repeated singular messages merge from the raw wire, including
explicitly encoded proto3 default values
- repeated message-valued oneof members merge correctly, while different
variants remain last-wins
- mixed packed and unpacked scalar encodings preserve wire order
- descriptor field-set tripwires force decoder review when the protobuf
schema changes

The unsafe packed-float copy assumes the currently supported
little-endian Milvus targets such as x86-64 and arm64.

## Benchmarks

fastpb vs official `proto.Unmarshal`, using 1000-row payloads:

| path | payload | speedup | allocations/op |
|---|---|---:|---:|
| search / query | varchar | about 2x | about 1000-2035 to about 10-17 |
| search / query | float vector, dim 768 | about 6x | unchanged |
| insert | varchar with UTF-8 validation | about 1.8x | 1019 to about 10
|

## Verification

- unit and differential tests cover field descriptors, UTF-8 contracts,
wire-type mismatches, proto2 groups, unknown fields, packed/unpacked
ordering, oneof behavior, and repeated-message merge semantics
- randomized canonical-message equivalence tests cover search, retrieve,
insert, and upsert payloads
- `go test ./util/fastpb ./util/resource` passes
- `go vet ./util/fastpb ./util/resource` passes
- current full CI and end-to-end status is tracked by the PR checks
