Try using Lucene IntIntHashMap to speedup and reduce memory usage of top-K counting #662

Background

Breaking this out of https://github.com/alexklibisz/elastiknn/issues/160, specifically this comment: https://github.com/alexklibisz/elastiknn/issues/160#issuecomment-1826481362

I'd like to try using the IntIntHashMap from Lucene 9.x to decrease latency and memory usage for counting the top-K hits in LSH queries.

So far it looks like the speedup is only noticeable in larger datasets. So this might require expanding benchmarking to datasets larger than Fashion Mnist.
