Summary
This PR fixes block size estimation for variable-length data in two places:
DataBlock::estimate_block_size()now uses the GC-aware memory size path, so block statistics reflect the effective column footprint after compaction instead of inflated shared-buffer memory.estimated_scalar_repeat_size()is corrected for const variable-length values, so repeated String / Array / Map scalars are no longer underestimated compared with materialized columns.It addresses two issues:
estimated_scalar_repeat_size()could significantly underestimate const variable-length values.estimate_block_size()used a non-GC memory size path, which could overestimate block size for view-backed columns.Together, these changes make block_size and bytes_uncompressed more stable across insert, recluster, and readback.
