 * FEATURE: add support for extra filters across all the [HTTP querying APIs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/querying/#http-api). See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/querying/#extra-filters) for details. This is needed for implementing quick filtering on field values at [this feature request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/7365).
