Title: [BACKPORT] Avoid potentially expensive `len()` call in value index estimation

backport @hannosch fix for ZCatalog plan on branch 2.13

Avoid potentially expensive `len()` call in value index estimation.

Instead iterate over unique values and break if we can get more than
`MAX_DISTINCT_VALUES` values. Also correctly identify empty indexes like the
DateRangeIndex, which only returns values when the name argument is provided
to the uniqueValues method with either the `since` or `until` field.
