Add option that restores the ability to perform index compression in memory

[gustingonzalez]

This adds the --in-memory option to the compress_inverted_index command, restoring the in-memory compression and allowing it to avoid using an intermediate buffer.

@elshize, done with the comments, but I'll be making some minor code refactoring as well.

@elshize, I've noticed a few tests are failing. This comes from the master branch, so it might be worth considering as another issue. Here's the error:

The following tests FAILED:

Tests seem to be working fine in CI. What system are you running this on? What compiler? Can you show the output of one of the test? E.g.:

./test/test_block_codecs

@elshize, effectively there is a problem with my compiler. I tested again compiling a debug version, and it worked fine. I have to look the reasons of this, but at the moment this isn't blocking for me. The error is "ILLEGAL INSTRUCTION", I'm using g++11:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
test_block_codecs is a Catch v2.13.7 host application.

@gustingonzalez is it possible you previously compiled the code on one machine and executed it on a different one?

Great! That was the reason!
