vmalert: remove notions of vmalert being compatible with VM only (#2954)

vmalert can be successfully used with datasources
compatible with Prometheus HTTP API. So we remove comments or
notes in Readme which are saying opposite.

Supports the following optional suffixes for size values: KB, MB, GB, KiB, MiB, GiB (default 0)
-memory.allowedPercent float
Allowed percent of system memory VictoriaMetrics caches may occupy. See also -memory.allowedBytes. Too low a value may increase cache miss rate usually resulting in higher CPU and disk IO usage.
