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.

* vmalert: support concurrent reading from object storage
Config reading from GCS or S3 can be slow if object storage
contains a big number of files. Object storages are usually
fast for downloading and are slow for individual operations.
If there would be thousands of files to read, vmalert could
spend significant time for retrieving those because it is
done sequentially.
The change introduces ability to read configs from object
storage concurrently. By default, both GCS and S3 are now
read with 50 concurrent readers. This significantly reduces
the load time:
* loading 500 files with concurrency=1 takes 27s
* loading 500 files with concurrency=50 takes <1s
* vmalert: add note to Changelog
* vmalert: cleanup
* vmalert: use ticker properly
* app/vmalert: improve status reporting during config loading

The `List` method can be used for wildcard support in object storage FS.

understanding of the migration progress.

- Use flag.Duration instead of flagutil.Duration for -snapshotCreateTimeout,
since the flagutil.Duration is intended mostly for big durations, e.g. days, months and years,
while the -snapshotCreateTimeout is usually smaller than one hour.
- Add links to https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#how-to-work-with-snapshots in docs/CHANGELOG.md,
so readers could easily find the corresponding docs when reading the changelog.
- Properly remove all the created directories on unsuccessful attempt to create
snapshot in Storage.CreateSnapshot().

* vmselect/promql: check for deadline in `count_values` fn
`count_values` could be very slow during the data processing.
Checking for deadline between iterations supposed to reduce
probability of exceeding `search.maxQueryDuration`.
The change also adds a new trace record, which captures the time
spent in aggregation function. Before that, the trace for aggr funcs
could be confusing since it doesn't account for all the places where
time was spent.

* metricsql: support optional 2nd argument for rollup functions
Support optional 2nd argument `min`, `max` or `avg` for rollup functions:
* rollup
* rollup_delta
* rollup_deriv
* rollup_increase
* rollup_rate
* rollup_scrape_interval
If second argument is passed, then rollup function will return only the selected aggregation type.
This change can be useful for situations where only one type of rollup calculation is needed.
For example, `rollup_rate(requests_total[5m], "max")`.

- Do not generate __meta_server label, since it is unavailable in Prometheus.
- Add a link to https://docs.victoriametrics.com/sd_configs.html#kuma_sd_configs to docs/CHANGELOG.md,
so users could click it and read the docs without the need to search the corresponding docs.
- Remove kumaTarget struct, since it is easier generating labels for discovered targets
directly from the response returned by Kuma. This simplifies the code.
- Store the generated labels for discovered targets inside atomic.Value. This allows reading them
from concurrent goroutines without the need to use mutex.
- Use synchronouse requests to Kuma instead of long polling, since there is a little sense
in the long polling when the Kuma server may return 304 Not Modified response every -promscrape.kumaSDCheckInterval.
- Remove -promscrape.kuma.waitTime command-line flag, since it is no longer needed when long polling isn't used.
- Set default value for -promscrape.kumaSDCheckInterval to 30s in order to be consistent with Prometheus.
- Remove unnecessary indirections for string literals, which are used only once, in order to improve code readability.
- Remove unused fields from discoveryRequest and discoveryResponse.
- Update tests.
- Document why fetch_timeout and refresh_interval options are missing in kuma_sd_config.
- Add docs to discoveryutils.RequestCallback and discoveryutils.ResponseCallback,
since these are public types.
Side notes: it is weird that Prometheus implementation for kuma_sd_configs sets `instance` label,
since usually this label is set by the Prometheus itself to __address__ after the relabeling phase.

While at it, stop sending requests to unavailable backend for 3 seconds

and the number of useless network packets when the backend is temporarily unavailable.

docs: clarifications between standalone/cluster ingestion endpoints
This is an attempt to make it a bit clearer to the user that the cluster version ingestion URLs are different from the standalone ones. I have also changed the order of the list items to make it a bit clearer and hopefully stop the user simply inferring that `/prometheus/api/v1` is only related to Prometheus data.
* vmalert: speed up state restore procedure on start
Alerts state restore procedure has been changed to become asynchronous.
It doesn't block groups start anymore which significantly improves vmalert's startup time.
Instead, state restore is called by each group in their goroutines after the first rules
evaluation.
While previously state restore attempt was made for all loaded alerting rules,
now it is called only for alerts which became active after the first evaluation.
This reduces the amount of API calls to the configured remote read URL.
This also means that `remoteRead.ignoreRestoreErrors` command-line flag becomes deprecated now
and will have no effect if configured.

This allows better controlling requests to backends and providing better error logging.
For example, if the backend was unavailable, then the ReverseProxy was logging the error
message without client ip and the initial request uri. This could harden debugging.
This is based on https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/3486
The docs/assets folder should be used only for assets specific to docs generation at https://docs.victoriametrics.com, e.g. css, js and images.
All the other assets related to specific docs should be placed in the same folder as the corresponding *.md file.
These assets should have the same name prefix as the corresponding doc file name. This simplifies tracking the lifetime of these assets.
For example, if the doc is removed, it is very easy to remove all assets associated with it with a simple `rm -rf docs/doc-name*` command.
This also simplifies generating correct urls for doc-specific assets from both https://docs.victoriametrics.com
and from https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/docs/ - just refer to the asset name without any directory prefixes.
