Previously, when the alert got resolved shortly before the vmalert
process shuts down, this could result in false alerts.
This change switches vmalert to use MetricsQL function during alerts state restore, which makes it
incompatible for state restoration with PromQL.

1. Avoid storing the last evaluation results outside of rules, check for
stale time series as soon as possible;
2. remove duplicated template `Clone()`.
This pull request is primarily reducing memory usage when rules produce
large volumes of results, as seen in
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/6894.
The CPU time spent on garbage collection remains high and may be
addressed in a separate PR.
This makes test code more clear and reduces the number of code lines by 500.
This also simplifies debugging tests. See https://itnext.io/f-tests-as-a-replacement-for-table-driven-tests-in-go-8814a8b19e9e
While at it, 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
* vmalert: fix sending alert messages
1. fix `endsAt` field in messages that send to alertmanager, previously rule with small interval could never be triggered;
2. fix behavior of `-rule.resendDelay`, before it could prevent sending firing message when rule state is volatile.
* docs: update changelog notes

* app/vmalert: autogenerate `ALERTS_FOR_STATE` time series for alerting rules with `for: 0`
Previously, `ALERTS_FOR_STATE` was generated only for alerts with `for > 0`.
This behavior differs from Prometheus behavior - it generates ALERTS_FOR_STATE
time series for alerting rules with `for: 0` as well. Such time series can
be useful for tracking the moment when alerting rule became active.

automatically add `exported_` prefix for original evaluation result label if it's conflicted with external or reserved one,
previously it was overridden.

(cherry picked from commit 1f477aba41)
reduce the number of queries for restoring alerts state on start-up.
The change should speed up the restore process and reduce pressure on `remoteRead.url`.
(cherry picked from commit 90d45574bf)
fix possible missing firing states for alerting rules in replay mode
Before if one firing stage is bigger than single query request range, like rule with a big `for`, alerting rule won't able to be detected as firing.
