"How do We Keep Metrics for a Long Time in VictoriaMetrics" article is referenced twice in "Third-party articles and slides about VictoriaMetrics" section
Improperly configured -bigMergeConcurrency command-line flag usually leads to uncontrolled
growth of unmerged parts, which, in turn, increases CPU usage and query durations.
So it is better deprecating this flag. In rare cases -smallMergeConcurrency command-line flag
can be used instead for controlling the concurrency of background merges.
This makes it easier to understand exact point in time which is included in this backup.

The logic employed for re-using the previously loaded scrape target was broken initially.
The commit cc0427897c tried to fix it, but the new logic
became too complex and fragile. So it is better to just remove this logic,
since the targets from temporarily broken file should be eventually loaded on next
attempts every -promscrape.fileSDCheckInterval
This also allows removing fragile hacks around __vm_filepath label.

* lib/storage: check for free disk space before opening tables
We check for free disk space before call to `openTable`,
so `Storage` can be set to ReadOnly before mergeWorkers start.
Before the change, there was a chance that merges will start
even if Storage has to start in ReadOnly mode because of
`-storage.minFreeDiskSpaceBytes` limit.

- Make sure that the last successfully loaded config is used on hot-reload failure
- Properly cleanup resources occupied by already initialized aggregators
when the current aggregator fails to be initialized
- Expose distinct vmagent_streamaggr_config_reload* metrics per each -remoteWrite.streamAggr.config
This should simplify monitoring and debugging failed reloads
- Remove race condition at app/vminsert/common.MustStopStreamAggr when calling sa.MustStop() while sa
could be in use at realoadSaConfig()
- Remove lib/streamaggr.aggregator.hasState global variable, since it may negatively impact scalability
on system with big number of CPU cores at hasState.Store(true) call inside aggregator.Push().
- Remove fine-grained aggregator reload - reload all the aggregators on config change instead.
This simplifies the code a bit. The fine-grained aggregator reload may be returned back
if there will be demand from real users for it.
- Check -relabelConfig and -streamAggr.config files when single-node VictoriaMetrics runs with -dryRun flag
- Return back accidentally removed changelog for v1.87.4 at docs/CHANGELOG.md
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3639
Verifying status code helps to avoid misleading errors caused by attempt to parse unsuccessful response.

- Compare directory names instead of paths to directory when determining which persistent queues must be deleted
This is less error-prone solution, since paths to the same directory can differ, which could lead
to accidental directory removal for the existing -remoteWrite.url
- Log the `removed %d dangling queues` message when at least a single queue has been removed
- Consistently use filepath.Join() for creating paths to persistent queues.
This is needed for Windows support (see https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/70 )
- Clarify the description of the change at docs/CHANGELOG.md
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4014
- Allocate and initialize seriesByWorkerID slice in a single go instead
of initializing every item in the list separately.
This should reduce CPU usage a bit.
- Properly set anti-false sharing padding at timeseriesWithPadding structure
- Document the change at docs/CHANGELOG.md

This commit changes background merge algorithm, so it becomes compatible with Windows file semantics.
The previous algorithm for background merge:
1. Merge source parts into a destination part inside tmp directory.
2. Create a file in txn directory with instructions on how to atomically
swap source parts with the destination part.
3. Perform instructions from the file.
4. Delete the file with instructions.
This algorithm guarantees that either source parts or destination part
is visible in the partition after unclean shutdown at any step above,
since the remaining files with instructions is replayed on the next restart,
after that the remaining contents of the tmp directory is deleted.
Unfortunately this algorithm doesn't work under Windows because
it disallows removing and moving files, which are in use.
So the new algorithm for background merge has been implemented:
1. Merge source parts into a destination part inside the partition directory itself.
E.g. now the partition directory may contain both complete and incomplete parts.
2. Atomically update the parts.json file with the new list of parts after the merge,
e.g. remove the source parts from the list and add the destination part to the list
before storing it to parts.json file.
3. Remove the source parts from disk when they are no longer used.
This algorithm guarantees that either source parts or destination part
is visible in the partition after unclean shutdown at any step above,
since incomplete partitions from step 1 or old source parts from step 3 are removed
on the next startup by inspecting parts.json file.
This algorithm should work under Windows, since it doesn't remove or move files in use.
This algorithm has also the following benefits:
- It should work better for NFS.
- It fits object storage semantics.
The new algorithm changes data storage format, so it is impossible to downgrade
to the previous versions of VictoriaMetrics after upgrading to this algorithm.

* app/vmagent: allow vm proto for kafka consumer and producer
it should reduce network usage up to 50%.
According to benchmarks without any encoding at kafka topic, it reduces traffic up to 50%.
With enabled zstd at kafka topic, it shows no diffence in traffic. So it
doesn't make much sense to use it.
