### Describe Your Changes
Log when the data response from vmselect is partial during
rule(recording, alertingrule) evaluations.
vmselect returns `isPartial: true` in case data is not fully fetched
from scattered vmstorages. At the time of rule evals, it may be drifting
apart from real values due to missing points. This is an important event
that should be logged to inform users to see how often that happens as
it may lead to false positive alerts.

(cherry picked from commit 56f60e8be9)
* vmalert: properly attach tenant labels `vm_account_id` and `vm_project_id` to alerting rules when enabling `-clusterMode`
Previously, these labels were lost in alert messages to Alertmanager. Bug was introduced in [v1.112.0](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases/tag/v1.112.0).
- Move lib/httputil.Transport to lib/promauth.NewTLSTransport. Remove the first arg to this function (URL),
since it has zero relation to the created transport.
- Move lib/httputil.TLSConfig to lib/promauth.NewTLSConfig. Re-use the existing functionality
from lib/promauth.Config for creating TLS config. This enables the following features:
- Ability to load key, cert and CA files from http urls.
- Ability to change the key, cert and CA files without the need to restart the service.
It automatically re-loads the new files after they change.
Commit 9ca74d1fff introduced an issue with metrics registration. Due to metrics.Summary type always registered at the global state of metrics package, vmalert had increased memory and CPU usage after multiple configuration reloads.
This commit addresses this issue and properly registers metrics.Summary metric. Now metrics for group and rules must be explicitly registered before group.Start with group.Init method. It simplifies metrics usage an ensures that all needed metrics were registered and group is ready to start.

1. fix possible data race on group checksum when reload is called
concurrently. Before, it didn't affect much but might update the group
one more time.
2. remove the unnecessary g.mu.RLock() and compute group.id at newGroup creation. Changes to group.ID()
indicate that type and interval have changed, and the group is new.

Previous commit 9ca74d1fff added a regression for notifier's metrics exposed by vmalert. vmalert returned new notifier instances for the blackhole notifier type. And it registered new metrics each get notifiers function was called. It registered duplicate metrics and lead to OOM crash.
This commit properly init blachole notifier instances and add metrics for it only once, during application start.

### Describe Your Changes
Fix many spelling errors and some grammar, including misspellings in
filenames.
The change also fixes a typo in metric `vm_mmaped_files` to `vm_mmapped_files`.
While this is a breaking change, this metric isn't used in alerts or dashboards.
So it seems to have low impact on users.
The change also deprecates `cspell` as it is much heavier and less usable.

Add `vmalert_alerts_send_latency_seconds` metric for
alertmanager.notifier.
To measure the time for alertmanager calls to send alerts per notifier.
This is needed to see the latency for each notifier from vmalert calls.

Since funcs `ParseDuration` and `ParseTimeMsec` are used in vlogs,
vmalert, victoriametrics and other components, importing promutils only
for this reason makes them to export irrelevant

This change removes `vm_rows_invalid_total{type="prometheus"}` metric

Previously if rule group parameters were changed, alerting rules related metrics could be deleted due to bug at `utils/metrics` package.
This commit introduces `metrics.Set` per rule group. It holds group and alerting rules metrics. It properly unregister alerting rules metrics and addresses issue.
In addition:
- expose group metrics only once group is started - this helps to avoid
exposing metrics for groups which are created during YAML unmarshaling
and only used to update existing group.
- properly close rules which are discarded after updating existing rules
so that metrics are also correctly closed.
- detect file renames and properly recreate groups "moved" between files.

Currently, vmalert uses a fixed 10-second client timeout for notifiers,
which can prevent large sets of alerts from being sent successfully.
This introduces `-notifier.sendTimeout` flag to vmalert to control the
client timeout duration for the notifiers.

### Describe Your Changes
There is an issue described in #8040 this should fix it
- The alerts slice is shared across multiple goroutines (since send() is
called concurrently).
- `alerts[:0]` creates a new slice header, but it still references the
same underlying array.
- Appending (append(alertsToSend, a)) modifies the underlying array,
which may also be used by another goroutine.
Solution: Use a separate slice copy for each goroutine.

in case there is no labels present for an alert. This made clause which
was adding a comma for the JSON list incorrect as it is not possible to
determine if the next alert will be skipped or not.

JSON payload for Alertmanager notification.

Previously, since labels slice is reused for both `ALERTS` and
`ALERTS_FOR_STATE`, metrics might have incorrect labels and affect the
restore process. Tested the fix under `TestAlertingRule_Exec:
"for-pending=>empty"`.
The bug is introduced in
282f13cf11.
Affected versions: v1.106.1, v1.107...v1.108.x
related issue:
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/7796
Previously after configuration reload call `externalURL` templaing function defined at external templates could be lost. Since it was added only at initial `Load` call and never copied during template reload process.
External templates for vmalert could be defined via `-rule.templates` flag.
This commit properly reload external templates. It's no longer copies mutated templates and instead fully reloads it each time if there is any changes.
Previous commit b09272ccac added regression, which could lead to the template
global state overwrites.
The issue related to the mechanism how `vmalert` inherits templates. It has global templates, that could be changed via `rule.templates` flag. And local templates defined per labels/annotations for rules and groups.
During labels/annotations templating state could be changed via `define` syntax.
This commit restores previous behavior with `Clone` call for templates before templating labels/annotations.
Affected releases:
- 1.106.1
- v1.102.7
- v1.97.12

Previously, when the alert got resolved shortly before the vmalert
process shuts down, this could result in false alerts.
This change switches vmalert to use MetricsQL function during alerts state restore, which makes it
incompatible for state restoration with PromQL.

1. Avoid storing the last evaluation results outside of rules, check for
stale time series as soon as possible;
2. remove duplicated template `Clone()`.
This pull request is primarily reducing memory usage when rules produce
large volumes of results, as seen in
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/6894.
The CPU time spent on garbage collection remains high and may be
addressed in a separate PR.
Auto-adjust `-remoteWrite.concurrency` cmd-line flags with the number of
available CPU cores in the same way as vmagent does. With this change
the default behavior of vmalert in high-loaded installation should
become more resilient. This change also reduces
`-remoteWrite.flushInterval` from `5s` to `2s` to provide better data
freshness.

`alert_relabel_configs` in [notifier
config](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert/#notifier-configuration-file)
can drop alert labels when used to filter different tenant alert message
to different notifier.
alertmanager would report error like `msg="Failed to validate alerts"
err="at least one label pair required"` in this case, but the rest of
the alerts inside one request would still be valid in alertmanager, so
it's not severe.
Recent versions of `docker build` started generating the InvalidDefaultArgInFrom warning if Dockerfile contains
an ARG without default value. While this warning doesn't affect building Docker packages via `make package-*` commands,
it is better suppressing the warning, so it doesn't clutter `make package-*` output with the noise,
which can hide real issues in the future.
This change is made in attempt to reduce memory usage by vmalert when
parsing big instant responses from VM/Prometheus.
In
a5c427bac4
vmalert switched from std json lib to fastjson lib in order to reduce
amount of allocations, as according to highloaded profiles of vmalert
the CPU is mostly spent on GC.
But switching to fastjson resulted into excessive memory usage for cases
when vmalert has to parse long json lines, which usually happens when
instant response contains many `metric` objects.
In this change we do a mixed parsing:
1. Slice of `metric` objects is parsed with std lib to keep mem low
2. Each `metric` object is parsed with fastjson to reduce allocs
The benchmark results are the following:
```
pkg: github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/app/vmalert/datasource
BenchmarkParsePrometheusResponse/Instant_std+fastjson-10 1760 668959 ns/op 280147 B/op 5781 allocs/op
MBs allocated at heap: 493.078392
mallocs: 18655472
BenchmarkParsePrometheusResponse/Instant_fastjson-10 6109 198258 ns/op 172839 B/op 5548 allocs/op
MBs allocated at heap: 1056.384464
mallocs: 34457184
BenchmarkParsePrometheusResponse/Instant_std-10 1287 950987 ns/op 451677 B/op 9619 allocs/op
MBs allocated at heap: 580.802976
mallocs: 13351636
```
The benchmark function code with mem measurement is available here
https://gist.github.com/hagen1778/b9c3ca7f8ca7d6b21aec9777112c5810
The benchmark contains 3 results:
1. Instant_std+fastjson is the implementation in this change
2. Instant_fastjson-10 is the implementation from
a5c427bac4
3. BenchmarkParsePrometheusResponse/Instant_std-10 is implementation
before
a5c427bac4
According to these results, this new implementation is slower than
previous, but faster than before switching to fastjson. It also has
lower number of allocations and roughly the same memory allocation on
heap with GC turned off.
---------
Other changes:
1. rm BenchmarkMetrics as it doesn't measure anything
2. simplify BenchmarkParsePrometheusResponse into
BenchmarkPromInstantUnmarshal

vmalert can integrate with alertmanager that supports multi-tenant by
adding tenantID header`X-Scope-OrgID` in requests.
In multitenancy, vmalert can also filter alerts which send to different

`alert_relabel_configs`.
