Before, buffer growth was always x2 of its size, which could lead to
excessive memory usage when processing big amount of data.
For example, scraping a target with hundreds of MBs in response could
result into hih memory spikes in vmagent because buffer has to double
its size to fit the response. See
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/6759
The change smoothes out the growth rate, trading higher allocation rate
for lower mem usage at certain conditions.

(cherry picked from commit f28f496a9d)
'any' type is supported starting from Go1.18. Let's consistently use it
instead of 'interface{}' type across the code base, since `any` is easier to read than 'interface{}'.
- Make it in a separate goroutine, so it doesn't slow down regular intern() calls.
- Do not lock internStringMap.mutableLock during the cleanup routine, since now
it is called from a single goroutine and reads only the readonly part of the internStringMap.
This should prevent from locking regular intern() calls for new strings during cleanups.
- Add jitter to the cleanup interval in order to prevent from synchornous increase in resource usage
during cleanups.
- Run the cleanup twice per -internStringCacheExpireDuration . This should save 30% CPU time spent
on cleanup comparing to the previous code, which was running the cleanup 3 times per -internStringCacheExpireDuration .
This should reduce GC overhead when tens of millions of strings are interned (for example, during stream deduplication
of millions of active time series).
The limit has been increased from 300 bytes to 500 bytes according to the collected production stats.
This allows reducing CPU usage without significant increase of RAM usage in most practical cases.

Allow users fine-tuning the maximum string length for interning via -internStringMaxLen command-line flag.
This may be used for fine-tuning RAM vs CPU usage for certain workloads.

Previously only up to 100K results were cached.
This could result in sub-optimal performance when more than 100K unique strings were actually used.
For example, when the relabeling rule was applied to a million of unique Graphite metric names
like in the https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3466
This commit should reduce the long-term CPU usage for https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3466
after all the unique Graphite metrics are registered in the FastStringMatcher.Transform() cache.
It is expected that the number of unique strings, which are passed to FastStringMatcher.Match(),
FastStringTransformer.Transform() and to InternString() during the last 5 minutes,
is limited, so the function results fit memory. Otherwise OOM crash can occur.
This should be the case for typical production workloads.
- Return meta-labels for the discovered targets via promutils.Labels
instead of map[string]string. This improves the speed of generating
meta-labels for discovered targets by up to 5x.
- Remove memory allocations in hot paths during ScrapeWork generation.
The ScrapeWork contains scrape settings for a single discovered target.
This improves the service discovery speed by up to 2x.
- show dates in human-readable format, e.g. 2022-05-07, instead of a numeric value
- limit the maximum length of queries and filters shown in trace messages
Previously bytesutil.Resize() was copying the original byte slice contents to a newly allocated slice.
This wasted CPU cycles and memory bandwidth in some places, where the original slice contents wasn't needed
after slize resizing. Switch such places to bytesutil.ResizeNoCopy().
Rename the original bytesutil.Resize() function to bytesutil.ResizeWithCopy() for the sake of improved readability.
Additionally, allocate new slice with `make()` instead of `append()`. This guarantees that the capacity of the allocated slice
exactly matches the requested size. The `append()` could return a slice with bigger capacity as an optimization for further `append()` calls.
This could result in excess memory usage when the returned byte slice was cached (for instance, in lib/blockcache).
