[REFACTOR] PromQL: simplify rangeEvalTimestampFunctionOverVectorSelector (#14021)

The function `rangeEvalTimestampFunctionOverVectorSelector` appeared to be checking histogram size, however the value it used was always 0 due to subtle variable shadowing.
However we don't need to pass sample values to the `timestamp` function, since the latter only cares about timestamps. This also affects peak sample count in statistics, since we are no longer copying histogram samples.
