### Describe Your Changes
VictoriaLogs allows logs without `_msg` field or `_msg` field is empty.
This lead to incorrect search result. See:
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/6785
This pull request search for non-empty `_msg` field before log entry is
added to `LogRows`.
New counter `vl_rows_dropped_total{reason="msg_not_exist"}` is
introduced.
Example log output:
```
2024-09-23T02:33:19.719Z warn app/vlinsert/insertutils/common_params.go:189 dropping log line without _msg field; [{@timestamp 2024-09-18T13:42:16.600000000Z} {Attributes.array.attribute ["many","values"]} {Attributes.boolean.attribute true} {Attributes.double.attribute 637.704} {Attributes.int.attribute 10} {Attributes.map.attribute.some.map.key some value} {Attributes.string.attribute some string} {Body Example ddddddddddlog record} {Resource.service.name my.service} {Scope.my.scope.attribute some scope attribute} {Scope.name my.library} {Scope.version 1.0.0} {SeverityNumber 10} {SeverityText Information} {SpanId eee19b7ec3c1b174} {TraceFlags 0} {TraceId 5b8efff798038103d269b633813fc60c}]

* updates change log
* adds VL-Debug http header
* updates doc
* extracts only the first value of http headers for VL-Stream-Fields and VL-Ignore-Fields.
It makes behaviour the same as Query string args. And allows to easily configure client applications.
Since most of the client collectors don't support multi value headers.

* Many collectors don't support forwarding url query params to the remote system. It makes impossible to define stream fields for it. Workaround with proxy between VictoriaLogs and log shipper is too complicated solution.
* This commit adds the following changes:
* Adds fallback to to headers params, if query param is empty for:
_msg_field -> VL-Msg-Field
_stream_fields -> VL-Stream-Fields
_ignore_fields -> VL-Ignore-Fields
_time_field -> VL-Time-Field
* removes deprecations from victorialogs compose files, added more
output format examples for logstash, telegraf, fluent-bit

Previously the in-memory buffer could remain unflushed for long periods of time under low ingestion rate.
The ingested logs weren't visible for search during this time.
- Compare the actual free disk space to the value provided via -storage.minFreeDiskSpaceBytes
directly inside the Storage.IsReadOnly(). This should work fast in most cases.
This simplifies the logic at lib/storage.
- Do not take into account -storage.minFreeDiskSpaceBytes during background merges, since
it results in uncontrolled growth of small parts when the free disk space approaches -storage.minFreeDiskSpaceBytes.
The background merge logic uses another mechanism for determining whether there is enough
disk space for the merge - it reserves the needed disk space before the merge
and releases it after the merge. This prevents from out of disk space errors during background merge.
- Properly handle corner cases for flushing in-memory data to disk when the storage
enters read-only mode. This is better than losing the in-memory data.
- Return back Storage.MustAddRows() instead of Storage.AddRows(),
since the only case when AddRows() can return error is when the storage is in read-only mode.
This case must be handled by the caller by calling Storage.IsReadOnly()
before adding rows to the storage.
This simplifies the code a bit, since the caller of Storage.MustAddRows() shouldn't handle
errors returned by Storage.AddRows().
- Properly store parsed logs to Storage if parts of the request contain invalid log lines.
Previously the parsed logs could be lost in this case.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4737
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/4945
* lib/logstorage: switch to read-only mode when running out of disk space
Added support of `--storage.minFreeDiskSpaceBytes` command-line flag to allow graceful handling of running out of disk space at `--storageDataPath`.

Adding limit on ingestion allows to avoid issues like this one https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4762
Such issues are often caused by misconfigurtion on log persing/ingestion side and preventing such rows from being ingested allows to avoid performance implications created by storing such log rows.
