 Review comment:
   `getNewVector(MaterializedField field, ...` promotes `field` sharing between 
vectors and possibly threads. What are the use cases where `MaterializedField` 
needs to be shared between vectors? I mean, when is it necessary that 
modifications to `MaterializedField` that belongs to one vector are reflected 
transparently in another vector `MaterializedField`?

> The PartitionSender clones vectors. But, it does so by reusing the 
> {{MaterializedField}} from the original vector. Though the original authors 
> of {{MaterializedField}} apparently meant it to be immutable, later changes 
> for maps and unions ended up changing it to add members.
> When cloning a map, we get the original map materialized field, then start 
> doctoring it up as we add the cloned map members. This screws up the original 
> map vector's metadata.
> The solution is to clone an empty version of the materialized field when 
> creating a new vector.
> But, since much code creates vectors by giving a perfectly valid, unique 
> materialized field, we want to add a new method for use by the ill-behaved 
> uses, such as PartitionSender, that ask to create a new vector without 
> cloning the materialized field.
