lib/promscrape: follow-up after bced9fb978

- Document the bugfix at docs/CHANGELOG.md
- Wait until all the worker goroutines are done in consulWatcher.mustStop()
- Do not log `context canceled` errors when discovering consul serviceNames
- Removed explicit handling of gzipped responses at lib/promscrape/discoveryutils.Client,
  since this handling is automatically performed by net/http.Transport.
  See DisableCompression option at https://pkg.go.dev/net/http#Transport .
- Remove explicit handling of the proxyURL, since it is automatically handled
  by net/http.Transport. See Proxy option at https://pkg.go.dev/net/http#Transport .
- Expliticly set MaxIdleConnsPerHost, since its default value equals to 2.
  Such a small value may result in excess tcp connection churn
  when more than 2 concurrent requests are processed by lib/promscrape/discoveryutils.Client.
- Do not set explicitly the `Host` request header, since it is automatically set by net/http.Client.
- Backport the bugfix to the recently added nomad_sd_configs - see https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3367

 * BUGFIX: [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html): properly parse durations with uppercase suffixes such as `10S`, `5MS`, `1W`, etc. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3589).
 * BUGFIX: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html): fix a panic during target discovery when `vmagent` runs with `-promscrape.dropOriginalLabels` command-line flag. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3580). The bug has been introduced in [v1.85.0](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/CHANGELOG.html#v1850).
 * BUGFIX: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html): [dockerswarm_sd_configs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/sd_configs.html#dockerswarm_sd_configs): properly encode `filters` field. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3579).
