app/vmalert: fix data race during hot-config reload (#5698)

* app/vmalert: fix data race during hot-config reload

During hot-reload, the logic evokes the group update and rules evaluation
interruption simultaneously. Falsely assuming that interruption happens before
the update. However, it could happen that group will be updated first and only
after the rules evaluation will be cancelled. Which will result in permanent
interruption for all rules within the group.

The fix caches the cancel context function into local variable first. And only after
performs the group update. With cached cancel function we can safely call it without
worrying that we cancel the evaluation for already updated group.

The fix cancels the evaulation context before applying the update, making sure
that the context will be cancelled for old group always.

* BUGFIX: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html): check `-external.url` schema when starting vmalert, must be `http` or `https`. Before, alertmanager could reject alert notifications if `-external.url` contained no or wrong schema.
* BUGFIX: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html): automatically add `exported_` prefix for original evaluation result label if it's conflicted with external or reserved one, previously it was overridden. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5161).
* BUGFIX: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html): autogenerate `ALERTS_FOR_STATE` time series for alerting rules with `for: 0`. Previously, `ALERTS_FOR_STATE` was generated only for alerts with `for > 0`. The change aligns with Prometheus behavior. See more details in [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5648).
* BUGFIX: [vmalert](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html): fix data race during hot-config reload. The result of the race could cause all rules from updated group to fail with `context cancelled` error.
* BUGFIX: [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html): consistently sort results for `q1 or q2` query, so they do not change colors with each refresh in Grafana. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5393).
* BUGFIX: [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html): properly return results from [bottomk](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#bottomk) and `bottomk_*()` functions when some of these results contain NaN values. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5506). Thanks to @xiaozongyang for [the fix](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/5509).
* BUGFIX: [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html): properly handle queries, which wrap [rollup functions](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#rollup-functions) with multiple arguments without explicitly specified lookbehind window in square brackets into [aggregate functions](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#aggregate-functions). For example, `sum(quantile_over_time(0.5, process_resident_memory_bytes))` was resulting to `expecting at least 2 args to ...; got 1 args` error.
