Add the ability to create a simple cluster configuration for tests that
do not verify the cluster-specific behavior but instead are focused on
the business logic tests, such as API surface or MetricsQL. For such
tests this cluster configuration will be enough in most cases.
Cluster-specific tests should continue creating custom configurations.

### Describe Your Changes
Related issue: #7199
This is the initial version of the integration tests for cluster. See
`README.md` for details.
Currently cluster only, but it can also be used for vm-single if needed.
The code has been added to the apptest package that resides in the root
directory of the VM codebase. This is done to exclude the integration
tests from regular testing build targets because:
- Most of the test variants do not apply to integration testing (such as
pure or race).
- The integtation tests may also be slow because each test must wait for
2 seconds so vmstorage flushes pending content). It may be okay when
there are a few tests but when there is a 100 of them running tests will
require much more time which will affect the developer wait time and CI
workflows.
- Finally, the integration tests may be flaky especially short term.
An alternative approach would be placing apptest under app package and
exclude apptest from packages under test, but that is not trivial.
The integration tests rely on retrieving some application runtime info
from the application logs, namely the application's host:port. Therefore
some changes to lib/httpserver/httpserver.go were necessary, such as
reporting the effective host:port instead the one from the flag.
