### Description While working on some other stuff I noticed that we were doing something when loading segments which results in some extra heap usage storing redundant stuff we don't really need. Specifically, the changes in #12279 causes us to make a combined column and dimension list in the form of `Indexed` to pass to the `SimpleQueryableIndex`, which it was doing prior to this PR with https://github.com/apache/druid/blob/master/processing/src/main/java/org/apache/druid/segment/IndexIO.java#L648 `GenericIndexed.fromIterable` which is going to make new heap bytebuffers of the column and dimension lists. The columns `Indexed` is thrown away basically, but the dimensions list is kept around forever. We actually already have to have all of these column names on heap, and are already interning them via the `FileSmooshMapper` https://github.com/apache/druid/blob/master/processing/src/main/java/org/apache/druid/java/util/common/io/smoosh/SmooshedFileMapper.java#L88 which does so whenever it reads `meta.smoosh` to get the internal file list of a smoosh. There is an internal file as the entry point for every column name, so if we re-use this interner for the map of `ColumnHolder` suppliers as well as to back the `Indexed<String>` for the dimension list then we can save some heap. With my laptop test cluster of ~5k segments it reduces the heap footprint by ~20MB Before:  After:  Looking specifically at strings, we now have about 1/3 as many on heap (from the map of ColumnHolder suppliers), not counting all of the heap bytebuffers which were backing the dimensions lists.   Completely unrelated, this PR also fixes a bug with native expression type coercion with complex types. The added test would fail where it would return "unknown complex" sometimes when using the `ExpressionTypeCoercion.operator` method.
