- Postpone the pre-poulation to the last hour of the current day. This should reduce the number
of useless entries in the next per-day index, which shouldn't be created there,
when the corresponding time series are stopped to be pushed during the current day.
- Make the pre-population more smooth in time by using the hash of MetricID instead of MetricID itself
when calculating the need for for the given MetricID pre-population.
- Sync the logic for pre-population of the next day inverted index with the logic of pre-populating tsid cache
after indexdb rotation. This should improve code maintainability.

* lib/index: reduce read/write load after indexDB rotation
IndexDB in VM is responsible for storing TSID - ID's used for identifying
time series. The index is stored on disk and used by both ingestion and read path.
IndexDB is stored separately to data parts and is global for all stored data.
It can't be deleted partially as VM deletes data parts. Instead, indexDB is
rotated once in `retention` interval.
The rotation procedure means that `current` indexDB becomes `previous`,
and new freshly created indexDB struct becomes `current`. So in any time,
VM holds indexDB for current and previous retention periods.
When time series is ingested or queried, VM checks if its TSID is present
in `current` indexDB. If it is missing, it checks the `previous` indexDB.
If TSID was found, it gets copied to the `current` indexDB. In this way
`current` indexDB stores only series which were active during the retention
period.
To improve indexDB lookups, VM uses a cache layer called `tsidCache`. Both
write and read path consult `tsidCache` and on miss the relad lookup happens.
When rotation happens, VM resets the `tsidCache`. This is needed for ingestion
path to trigger `current` indexDB re-population. Since index re-population
requires additional resources, every index rotation event may cause some extra
load on CPU and disk. While it may be unnoticeable for most of the cases,
for systems with very high number of unique series each rotation may lead
to performance degradation for some period of time.
This PR makes an attempt to smooth out resource usage after the rotation.
The changes are following:
1. `tsidCache` is no longer reset after the rotation;
2. Instead, each entry in `tsidCache` gains a notion of indexDB to which
they belong;
3. On ingestion path after the rotation we check if requested TSID was
found in `tsidCache`. Then we have 3 branches:
3.1 Fast path. It was found, and belongs to the `current` indexDB. Return TSID.
3.2 Slow path. It wasn't found, so we generate it from scratch,
add to `current` indexDB, add it to `tsidCache`.
3.3 Smooth path. It was found but does not belong to the `current` indexDB.
In this case, we add it to the `current` indexDB with some probability.
The probability is based on time passed since the last rotation with some threshold.
The more time has passed since rotation the higher is chance to re-populate `current` indexDB.
The default re-population interval in this PR is set to `1h`, during which entries from
`previous` index supposed to slowly re-populate `current` index.
The new metric `vm_timeseries_repopulated_total` was added to identify how many TSIDs
were moved from `previous` indexDB to the `current` indexDB. This metric supposed to
grow only during the first `1h` after the last rotation.

For example, `{__graphite__=~"foo.(bar|baz)"}` is automatically converted to `{__graphite__=~"foo.{bar,baz}"}` before execution.
This allows using multi-value Grafana template variables such as `{__graphite__=~"foo.($app)"}`.
The vm_cache_size_max_bytes metric can be used for determining caches which reach their capacity via the following query:
vm_cache_size_bytes / vm_cache_size_max_bytes > 0.9

change protoparser api - with optional storage limit check for given openned storage

The number of series per target can be limited with the following options:
* Global limit with `-promscrape.maxSeriesPerTarget` command-line option.
* Per-target limit with `max_series: N` option in `scrape_config` section.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1561
This option can be useful when samples for the same time series are ingested with distinct order of labels.
For example, metric{k1="v1",k2="v2"} and metric{k2="v2",k1="v1"}.
