In #62282, the estimated row count was passed into the scan batch
allocator to avoid growing the batch from 1. However, this also changed
the default batch size from 1 to 1024 when no row count estimate was
available, giving significant overhead when fetching small result sets.
On kv95/enc=false/nodes=1/cpu=32 this reduced performance from 66304
ops/s to 58862 ops/s (median of 5 runs), since these are single-row
reads without estimates.

This patch reverts the default batch size to 1 when no row count
estimate is available. This fully fixes the kv95 performance
regression. YCSB/E takes a small hit going from 1895 ops/s to 1786
ops/s, but this only seems to happen because it takes a while for the
statistics to update: sometime within the first minute of the test
(after the 1-minute ramp-up period), throughput abruptly changes from
~700 ops/s to ~1800 ops/s, so using a 2-minute ramp-up period in
roachtest would mostly eliminate any difference.

Resolves #62524.

This change is Reviewable

In cockroachdb#62282, the estimated row count was passed into the scan batch
allocator to avoid growing the batch from 1. However, this also changed
the default batch size from 1 to 1024 when no row count estimate was
available, giving significant overhead when fetching small result sets.
On `kv95/enc=false/nodes=1/cpu=32` this reduced performance from 66304
ops/s to 58862 ops/s (median of 5 runs), since these are single-row
reads without estimates.

This patch reverts the default batch size to 1 when no row count
estimate is available. This fully fixes the `kv95` performance
regression. YCSB/E takes a small hit going from 1895 ops/s to 1786
ops/s, but this only seems to happen because it takes a while for the
statistics to update: sometime within the first minute of the test
(after the 1-minute ramp-up period), throughput abruptly changes from
~700 ops/s to ~1800 ops/s, so using a 2-minute ramp-up period in
roachtest would mostly eliminate any difference.

In cockroachdb#62534 it was shown that it takes up to two minutes before we have
good enough statistics to allocate appropriately sized batches. However,
the YCSB workloads only had a 1-minute ramp time, which would skew the
results as throughput would abruptly change when the statistics were
updated during the test.

This patch changes the ramp time for YCSB workloads to 2 minutes to make
sure we have appropriate statistics before starting the actual test.
