app/vmstorage: deprecate -bigMergeConcurrency command-line flag
Improperly configured -bigMergeConcurrency command-line flag usually leads to uncontrolled growth of unmerged parts, which, in turn, increases CPU usage and query durations. So it is better deprecating this flag. In rare cases -smallMergeConcurrency command-line flag can be used instead for controlling the concurrency of background merges.

|

|

* FEATURE: [vmbackup](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmbackup.html): store backup creation and completion time in `backup_complete.ignore` file of backup contents. This is useful to determine point in time when backup was created and completed.
|
||||
* FEATURE: [vmbackupmanager](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmbackupmanager.html): add `created_at` field to the output of `/api/v1/backups` API and `vmbackupmanager backup list` command. See this [doc](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmbackupmanager.html#api-methods) for data format details.
|
||||
* FEATURE: deprecate `-bigMergeConcurrency` command-line flag, since improper configuration for this flag frequently led to uncontrolled growth of unmerged parts, which, in turn, could lead to queries slowdown and increased CPU usage. The concurrency for [background merges](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#storage) can be controlled via `-smallMergeConcurrency` command-line flag, though it isn't recommended to do in general case.
