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 simplifies manual usage of the APIs. For example, the following query
would return the results over the 2022 year.
/api/v1/query_range?start=2022&end=2023&step=1d&query=...
This is equivalent to:
/api/v1/query_range?start=2022-01-01T00:00:00Z&end=2023-01-01T00:00:00Z&step=1d&query=...
- Rename `Custom panel` tab to more clear `Query` tab
- Rename `Cardinality` tab to `Explore cardinality`, so it becomes consistent with `Explore metrics` tab
- Move `Dashboards` tab to the end, since it isn't used too much
- Document the feature at docs/CHANGELOG.md.
- Document the metrics explorer at https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#metrics-explorer .
- Properly set `start` and `end` args for the selected time range
when performing the request, which returns metric names.
- Improve queries, so they return lower number of lines and labels.
This should improve metrics' exploration.
- Properly encode label filters and query args before passing them to VictoriaMetrics.
- Various cosmetic fixes.

support overriding of `-search.latencyOffset` value via
URL param `latency_offset`.

The main purpose of this command-line flag is to increase the lifetime of low-end flash storage
with the limited number of write operations it can perform. Such flash storage is usually
installed on Raspberry PI or similar appliances.
For example, `-inmemoryDataFlushInterval=1h` reduces the frequency of disk write operations
to up to once per hour if the ingested one-hour worth of data fits the limit for in-memory data.
The in-memory data is searchable in the same way as the data stored on disk.
VictoriaMetrics automatically flushes the in-memory data to disk on graceful shutdown via SIGINT signal.
The in-memory data is lost on unclean shutdown (hardware power loss, OOM crash, SIGKILL).

- Remove trailing whitespace at the end of lines
- Remove redundant sentence stating that time series matching the given selector will be deleted.
It should be clear from the surrounding context.
The searchTSIDs function was searching for metricIDs matching the the given tag filters
and then was locating the corresponding TSID entries for the found metricIDs.
The TSID entries aren't needed when searching for time series names (aka MetricName),
so this commit removes the uneeded TSID search from the implementation of /api/v1/series API.
This improves perfromance of /api/v1/series calls.
This commit also improves performance a bit for /api/v1/query and /api/v1/query_range calls,
since now these calls cache small metricIDs instead of big TSID entries
in the indexdb/tagFilters cache (now this cache is named indexdb/tagFiltersToMetricIDs)
without the need to compress the saved entries in order to save cache space.
This commit also removes concurrency limiter during searching for matching time series,
which was introduced in 8f16388428, since the concurrency
for all the read queries is already limited with -search.maxConcurrentRequests command-line flag.
