This simplifies debugging tests and makes the test code more clear and concise.

While at is, consistently use t.Fatal* instead of t.Error* across tests, since t.Error*
requires more boilerplate code, which can result in additional bugs inside tests.
While t.Error* allows writing logging errors for the same, this doesn't simplify fixing
broken tests most of the time.
This is a follow-up for a9525da8a4
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.
