This PR introduces an automatic parquet file sharding based on the limit of number of columns in the generated parquet file. The parquet go library has a max limit of 32767 columns so this PR tries to shard based on that whenever number of columns would exceed the limit.
The implementation is using the same approach as thanos-io/thanos-parquet-gateway#34 to use a map to keep track of number of labels and split whenever reaching limit.
It tries to handle both sharded reader and single reader path. We used to not shard at all in the single reader scenario but if it identifies that there are more label names than the configured limit, it tries to use the same code path to shard blocks.
