* TopDocs: ensure stable sorting on equal score

When selecting the top K documents by score, we need to ensure stable
sorting. Until now, for documents with the same score, we were relying
on the (arbitrary) order returned by the BinaryHeap used to implement
the collectors.

This patch fixes the problem by explicitly using the doc address when
harvesting the `TopSegmentCollector` and when merging the results in
`TopCollector::merge_fruits()`.

This is important (for example) to implement pagination correctly using
the TopDocs collector. If sorting isn't stable, documents that have the
same score might be ranked in different positions depending on the
specific K that was used, thus appearing in two different pages, or in
none at all.

Fixes gh-671

* TMP: alternative solution (see previous commit)

If we add the constrait that D is also PartialOrd in ComparableDoc<T,
D>, then we can move the comparison by doc address directly in the cmp
implementation of ComparableDoc.

* TMP rebase as first commit: add benchmarks for TopSegmentCollector

* fixup! TMP: alternative solution (see previous commit)

* TMP add changelog entry

* TMP run cargo fmt
