/** On-disk storage of inverted lists.
 *
 * The data is stored in a mmapped chunk of memory (base ptointer ptr,
 * size totsize). Each list is a range of memory that contains (object
 * List) that contains:
 *
 * - uint8_t codes[capacity * code_size]
 * - followed by idx_t ids[capacity]
 *
 * in each of the arrays, the size <= capacity first elements are
 * used, the rest is not initialized.
 *
 * Addition and resize are supported by:
 * - roundind up the capacity of the lists to a power of two
 * - maintaining a list of empty slots, sorted by size.
 * - resizing the mmapped block is adjusted as needed.
 *
 * An OnDiskInvertedLists is compact if the size == capacity for all
 * lists and there are no available slots.
 *
 * Addition to the invlists is slow. For incremental add it is better
 * to use a default ArrayInvertedLists object and convert it to an
 * OnDisk with merge_from.
 *
 * When it is known that a set of lists will be accessed, it is useful
 * to call prefetch_lists, that launches a set of threads to read the
 * lists in parallel.
