It could happen for low evaluation intervals and irregular
delays during execution that evaluation time would get
a negative offset. This could result into cumulative
discrepancy between the actual time and evaluation time for rules.

By default, vmalert will make multiple retry attempts with exponential delay.
The total time spent during retry attempts shouldn't exceed `-remoteWrite.retryMaxTime` (default is 30s).
When retry time is exceeded vmalert drops the data dedicated for `-remoteWrite.url`.
Before, vmalert dropped data after 5 retry attempts with 1s delay between attempts (not configurable).
See `-remoteWrite.retryMinInterval` and `-remoteWrite.retryMaxTime` cmd-line flags.

which has `name`, but doesn't have `rules` configured. In this

Previously, metric `vmalert_alerting_rules_last_evaluation_series_fetched`
would be set to 0 for const expressions, because const expression do not match
any series. This may result into a confusion: no series were matched but response isn't empty.
The change updates the logic behind metric: if no series were matched but there are samples
in response - use amount of samples as number of series.

app/vmalert: detect alerting rules which don't match any series at all
vmalert starts to understand /query responses which contain object:
```
"stats":{"seriesFetched": "42"}
```
If object is present, vmalert parses it and populates a new field
`SeriesFetched`. This field is then used to populate the new metric
`vmalert_alerting_rules_last_evaluation_series_fetched` and to
display warnings in the vmalert's UI.
If response doesn't contain the new object (Prometheus or
VictoriaMetrics earlier than v1.90), then `SeriesFetched=nil`.
In this case, UI will contain no additional warnings.
And `vmalert_alerting_rules_last_evaluation_series_fetched` will
be set to `-1`. Negative value of the metric will help to compile
correct alerting rule in follow-up.
Thanks for the initial implementation to @Haleygo

The change adds a new field `seriesFetched` to EvalConfig object.
Since EvalConfig object can be copied inside `Exec`,
`seriesFetched` is a pointer which can be updated by all copied
objects.
The reason for having stats is that other components, like vmalert,
could benefit from this information.

* vmalert: support logs suppressing during config reloads
The change is mostly required for ENT version of vmalert,
since it supports object-storage for config files.
Reading data from object storage could be time-consuming,
so vmalert emits logs to track the progress.
However, these logs are mostly needed on start or on
manual config reload. Printing these logs each time
`rule.configCheckInterval` is triggered would too verbose.
So the change allows to control logs emitting during
config reloads.
Now, logs are emitted during start up or when SIGHUP is receieved.
For periodicall config checks logs emitted by config pkg are suppressed.

Each group in vmalert starts with an artifical delay to avoid
thundering herd problem. For some groups with high evaluation
intervals, the delay could be significant.
If during this delay user will remove the group from the config
and hot-reload it - vmalert will have to wait until the delay
ends. This results into slow config reloading and UI hang.
The change moves the start-delay logic back to the group's
`start` method. Now, group can immediately exit from the
delay when `group.close()` method is called.
Signed-off-by: hagen1778 <roman@victoriametrics.com>
When group's update() or close() method is called, the group
still need to wait for its current evaluation to finish.
Sometimes, evaluation could take a significant amount of time

the graceful shutdown or config update procedures.

* 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.
