Sorted merge iterator has cpu-intensive operations to sort the points
from multiple inputs. Typical queries like
SELECT * FROM m GROUP BY *
do not behave well due to the comparison of points though in many cases
it doesn't necessarily have to use the slow path.
This patch adds a shortcut. If each input has a single and unique
series we can just return the points input by input.
The detection of the shortcut introduces slight overhead but the gains
are significant in many slow queries.
Closes #8304
