TheWitness d57431371b perf(poller/boost): cached per-data-source field-name lookups, remove batched prefetch (#8078)
* perf(poller/boost): replace batched field-name prefetch with cached per-data-source lookups

poller_prefetch_rrd_field_names() (issue#7534) batched the unused/nt field-name lookups into large IN() lists and rebuilt them on every process_poller_output()/boost_process_local_data_ids() call, so the completion-wait loop re-ran them each pass (DB thrash) and the IN() lists risk crashing some MariaDB/MySQL releases and do not scale to multi-million-data-source installs.

Option B (full): remove poller_prefetch_rrd_field_names() and replace it with two small per-data-source helpers - poller_get_unused_data_source_names() and poller_get_nt_rrd_field_names() - each a single indexed WHERE local_data_id = ? query cached by local_data_id in a caller-held static, so every data source is queried at most once per poller process. Templated field names resolve from the static poller_data_template_field_mappings cache (the Data Template dictates); only non-templated (data_template_id == 0) manual sources hit the per-instance query - a rare exception.

Both process_poller_output() (lib/poller.php) and boost_process_local_data_ids() (poller_boost.php) now use the helpers. Added a WARNING documentation block to both bulk hot-path functions spelling out the query-discipline rules for future maintainers/AI (minimal queries, no query in the per-row loop, avoid large IN() lists and full-table scans, single pass, static template-dictated caching). Updated BoostProcessBugsTest assertions to the new helpers and removed the now-obsolete BoostPrefetchRrdFieldNamesTest integration file.

* fix(poller/boost): split GROUP_CONCAT'd field mappings; guard orphan-name query to templated sources; add coverage

* boost: normalize orphan-name guard to ternary at third call site

The reset_template branch in boost_process_local_data_ids() guarded the
poller_get_unused_data_source_names() call with an if/else block rather
than the ternary used at the other two call sites. Normalize it so all
three sites read identically and the template-id guard is uniform.
