Build the prefix buffer when merge the RowVector from files, it will only take effect when the number of normalized key is more than 2, because 1 sort key query may not benefit from prefix buffer because it compares by accessing the RowVector one column value buffer and null buffer.
Use the config
spill_merge_prefix_comparator_enabled
to control the behavior, default true.The integration test shows it can accelerate TPCDS Q97 5% when the sort keys are {BIGINT(), BIGINT()}. It should benefit more if there are more sort keys or more spilled files.
