When `--vm-native-step-interval` is specified, explore phase will be executed
within specified intervals. Discovered metric names will be associated with
time intervals at which they were discovered. This suppose to reduce number
of requests vmctl makes per metric name since it will skip time intervals
when metric name didn't exist.
This should also reduce probability of exceeding complexity limits
for number of selected series in one request during explore phase.
