pick from master #62819

…culator (apache#62819)

In **vertical compaction**, `SegmentWriter::init()` is called multiple
times against the same writer (key columns first, then each value-column
group). The footer **accumulates** across calls, so every additional
`init()` re-scans an ever-larger footer — including entries from prior
`init()`s that the current `column_ids` cannot address.

| | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Single construction | O(footer accumulated size) | O(this init's
column_ids size) |
| N vertical-compaction `init()` calls | **O(N²)** | **O(N)** |

Snapshot `_footer.columns_size()` **before** `_create_writers` appends
new entries and pass it to `VariantStatsCaculator` as
`footer_column_offset`. The constructor only walks `[offset, end)` — its
own slice.

When performing compaction with 10,000 columns in the variant, this
method accounts for around 8% of CPU usage. After changing it to O(N),
this section has disappeared from the flame graph.
