Tighen Block-Max in single-scorer (#2897)

In the Block-Max WAND single-scorer, it uses block_max_score() < threshold,
whereas the multi-term one uses  block_max_score_upperbound <= threshold.

As both of these are guarded later on with if score > threshold we can
use the more efficent form in single-scorer.

Single-scorer block skip (<, should be <=): https://github.com/quickwit-oss/tantivy/blob/main/src/query/boolean_query/block_wand.rs#L231
Multi-scorer block skip (already <=): https://github.com/quickwit-oss/tantivy/blob/main/src/query/boolean_query/block_wand.rs#L179
Single-scorer per-doc guard (>): https://github.com/quickwit-oss/tantivy/blob/main/src/query/boolean_query/block_wand.rs#L246
Multi-scorer per-doc guard (>): https://github.com/quickwit-oss/tantivy/blob/main/src/query/boolean_query/block_wand.rs#L206

This will improve performance when there are many identical scores.
