What this PR does

This PR adds support for the timestamp function to MQE.

Compared to Prometheus' engine, timestamp runs up to 60% faster in MQE in our benchmarks:

Compared to main, the changes to InstantVectorSelector do introduce some additional latency, but the absolute differences are small and would likely be noise in the context of a more complex query:

lgtm, but I think this could also be worth passing through the gauntlet.

# If timestamp() is used over something that is not a selector, it returns the timestamps of the points returned.

I think it'd be nice to see a test for something like timestamp(rate(metric[5m])) or similar
