Description

Product: Tarantool EE
Since: 3.7

MemCS now supports insertion of columns in dictionary encoded layout,
except for columns that participate in index keys.

Indexes must be of uint16 type - otherwise, an error is thrown.
Also, batches with Arrow Dictionary Encoded Layout are inserted
faster to columns with dict layout.
Requested by @drewdzzz in https://github.com/tarantool/tarantool-ee/commit/e79b8160eb5fd3771f6b37b8589a453cb18d1ae8.
