### Describe Your Changes
Currently, vmagent always uses a separate `http.Client` for every group
watcher in Kubernetes SD. With a high number of group watchers this
leads to large amount of opened connections.
This PR adds 2 changes to address this:
- re-use of existing `http.Client` - in case `http.Client` is connecting
to the same API server and uses the same parameters it will be re-used
between group watchers
- HTTP2 support - this allows to reuse connections more efficiently due
to ability of using streaming via existing connections.

When ingesting samples with the same labels(duplicated samples or
samples with the same labels after `by` or `without` options). They
could register different entries for the same labelset in
LabelsCompressor.
For example, both index 99 and 100 can be assigned to label `foo=1` in
two concurrent pushes. Then due to differing label indexes in encoded
keys, the samples will appear as distinct in aggrState, resulting in
duplicated results after decompressing the label indexes.
fbde238cdc/lib/streamaggr/streamaggr.go (L933)
In this pull request, since we need to store `idxToLabel` first to
ensure the idx can be searched after `lc.labelToIdxStore`,
the `lc.idxToLabel` still could contain a duplicated entries
[100]="foo=1". But given the low likelihood of this issue and the size
of idxToLabel, it should be fine.

Currently, any number can be deleted and if the number is big (millions)
then the operation may result in unaccounted CPU and memory usage spikes
which in some cases may result in OOM kill (see #7027). The flag limits
the number to 30k by default and the users may override it if needed at
the vmstorage start time.

It is expected that range_first and range_last functions return non-nan const value across all the points
if the original series contains at least a single non-NaN value. Previously this rule was violated for NaN data points
in the original series. This could confuse users.
While at it, add tests for series with NaN values across all the range_* and running_* functions, in order to maintain
consistent handling of NaN values across these functions.
The previous behaviour was incorrect, since it is unexpected that the -streamAggr.dedupInterval
and -remoteWrite.streamAggr.dedupInterval is applied to processed samples only if -streamAggr.config isn't set.

…specifying `-streamAggr.dedupInterval` or
`-remoteWrite.streamAggr.dedupInterval` command-line flag
[The
documentation](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/)
contains conflicting descriptions regarding deduplication for
non-matched series when `-remoteWrite.streamAggr.config` and / or
`-streamAggr.config` are set:
1. Statement below says **all the received data** is deduplicated:
>[vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent/) supports
relabeling, deduplication and stream aggregation for all the received
data, scraped or pushed. Then, the collected data will be forwarded to
specified -remoteWrite.url destinations. The data processing order is
the following:
>1. all the received data is relabeled according to the specified
[-remoteWrite.relabelConfig](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent/#relabeling)
(if it is set)
>2. all the received data is deduplicated according to specified
[-streamAggr.dedupInterval](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/#deduplication)
(if it is set to duration bigger than 0)
2. Another statement says the deduplication is performed individually
for the **matching samples**
>The de-deduplication is performed after applying
[relabeling](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent/#relabeling) and
before performing the aggregation. If the -remoteWrite.streamAggr.config
and / or -streamAggr.config is set, then the de-duplication is performed
individually per each [stream aggregation
config](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/#stream-aggregation-config)

[input_relabel_configs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/#relabeling).

1. To apply deduplication(globally or for specific remoteWrite
destination) for all the received data, scraped or pushed

`TL;DR` This PR improves the metric IDs search in IndexDB:
- Avoid seaching for metric IDs twice when `maxMetrics` limit is
exceeded
- Use correct error type for indicating that the `maxMetrics` limit is
exceded
- Simplify the logic of deciding between per-day and global index search
A unit test has been added to ensure that this refactoring does not
break anything.
---
Function calls before the fix:
```
idb.searchMetricIDs
|__ is.searchMetricIDs
|__ is.searchMetricIDsInternal
|__ is.updateMetricIDsForTagFilters
|__ is.tryUpdatingMetricIDsForDateRange
| |
|__ is.getMetricIDsForDateAndFilters
```
- `searchMetricIDsInternal` searches metric IDs for each filter set. It
maintains a metric ID set variable which is updated every time the
`updateMetricIDsForTagFilters` function is called. After each successful
call, the function checks the length of the updated metric ID set and if
it is greater than `maxMetrics`, the function returns `too many
timeseries` error.
- `updateMetricIDsForTagFilters` uses either per-day or global index to
search metric IDs for the given filter set. The decision of which index
to use is made is made within the `tryUpdatingMetricIDsForDateRange`
function and if it returns `fallback to global search` error then the
function uses global index by calling `getMetricIDsForDateAndFilters`
with zero date.
- `tryUpdatingMetricIDsForDateRange` first checks if the given time
range is larger than 40 days and if so returns `fallback to global
search` error. Otherwise it proceeds to searching for metric IDs within
that time range by calling `getMetricIDsForDateAndFilters` for each
date.
- `getMetricIDsForDateAndFilters` searches for metric IDs for the given
date and returns `fallback to global search` error if the number of
found metric IDs is greater than `maxMetrics`.
Problems with this solution:
1. The `fallback to global search` error returned by
`getMetricIDsForDateAndFilters` in case when maxMetrics is exceeded is
misleading.
2. If `tryUpdatingMetricIDsForDateRange` proceeds to date range search
and returns `fallback to global search` error (because
`getMetricIDsForDateAndFilters` returns it) then this will trigger
global search in `updateMetricIDsForTagFilters`. However the global
search uses the same maxMetrics value which means this search is
destined to fail too. I.e. the same search is performed twice and fails
twice.
3. `too many timeseries` error is already handled in
`searchMetricIDsInternal` and therefore handing this error in
`updateMetricIDsForTagFilters` is redundant
4. updateMetricIDsForTagFilters is a better place to make a decision on
whether to use per-day or global index.
Solution:
1. Use a dedicated error for `too many timeseries` case
2. Handle `too many timeseries` error in `searchMetricIDsInternal` only
3. Move the per-day or global search decision from
`tryUpdatingMetricIDsForDateRange` to `updateMetricIDsForTagFilters` and
remove `fallback to global search` error.

Once the timeseries is in tsidCache, new entries won't be created in
per-day index because the RegisterMetricNames() code does consider
different dates for the same timeseries. So this case has been added.
The same bug exists for AddRows() but it is not manifested because the
index entries are finally created in updatePerDateData().
RegisterMetricNames also updated to increase the newTimeseriesCreated
counter because it actually creates new time series in index.
A unit tests has been added that check all possible data patterns
(different metric names and dates) and code branches in both
RegisterMetricNames and AddRows. The total number of new unit tests is
around 100 which increaded the running time of storage tests by 50%.

the default ports (80/443) were removed for both the `scrapeURL` and
`instance` label values for those targets without a port in
`__address__`. Different values in the `instance` label generate new

- The `instance` label value will include the default port.

add command-line flag `-search.inmemoryBufSizeBytes` for configuring size of in-memory buffers used by vmselect during processing of vmstorage responses. A new summary metric `vm_tmp_blocks_inmemory_file_size_bytes` is exposed to show the size of the buffer during requests processing.
The new setting can be used by experienced users to adjust memory usage by vmselect when processing
many small read requests. Instead of allocating 4MB buffers each time, vmselect can be instructed to lower
the buffer size via `-search.inmemoryBufSizeBytes`. To make the decision whether this flag needs to be adjusted
users can consult with `vm_tmp_blocks_inmemory_file_size_bytes` which shows the actual size of buffers used
during query processing.

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:
```

```
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
