- add a separate index cache for searches which might read through large
amounts of random entries. Primary use-case for this is retention and
downsampling filters, when applying filters background merge needs to
fetch large amount of random entries which pollutes an index cache.
Using different caches allows to reduce effect on memory usage and cache
efficiency of the main cache while still having high cache hit rate. A
separate cache size is 5% of allowed memory.
- reduce size of indexdb/dataBlocks cache in order to free memory for
new sparse cache. Reduced size by 5% and moved this to a separate cache.
- add a separate metricName search which does not cache metric names -
this is needed in order to allow disabling metric name caching when
applying downsampling/retention filters. Applying filters during
background merge accesses random entries, this fills up cache and does
not provide an actual improvement due to random access nature.

(cherry picked from commit 9eb0c1fd86)
### Describe Your Changes
Currently, vmagent always uses a separate `http.Client` for every group
watcher in Kubernetes SD. With a high number of group watchers this
leads to large amount of opened connections.
This PR adds 2 changes to address this:
- re-use of existing `http.Client` - in case `http.Client` is connecting
to the same API server and uses the same parameters it will be re-used
between group watchers
- HTTP2 support - this allows to reuse connections more efficiently due
to ability of using streaming via existing connections.

Use local timezone of the host server in this case. The timezone can be overridden
with TZ environment variable if needed.
While at it, allow using whitespace instead of T as a delimiter between data and time
in the ingested _time field. For example, '2024-09-20 10:20:30' is now accepted
during data ingestion. This is valid ISO8601 format, which is used by some log shippers,
so it should be supported. This format is also known as SQL datetime format.
Also assume local time zone when time without timezone information is passed to querying APIs.
Previously such a time was parsed in UTC timezone. Add `Z` to the end of the time string
if the old behaviour is preferred.

### Describe Your Changes
This is an attempt to document IndexDB. I guess I was trying to touch
the important points that might be of interest for the end users while
refraining from making it too detailed (such as I did not enumerate and
describe all the specific record types).
Please take a look and any suggestions are very welcome.

- Clarify the description of -graphite.sanitizeMetricName command-line flag at README.md
- Do not sanitize tag values - only metric names and tag names must be sanitized,
since they are treated specially by Grafana. Grafana doesn't apply any restrictions on tag values.
- Properly replace more than two consecutive dots with a single dot.
- Disallow unicode letters in metric names and tag names, since neither Prometheus nor Grafana
do not support them.

Reason for revert:
There are many statsd servers exist:
- https://github.com/statsd/statsd - classical statsd server
- https://docs.datadoghq.com/developers/dogstatsd/ - statsd server from DataDog built into DatDog Agent ( https://docs.datadoghq.com/agent/ )
- https://github.com/avito-tech/bioyino - high-performance statsd server
- https://github.com/atlassian/gostatsd - statsd server in Go
- https://github.com/prometheus/statsd_exporter - statsd server, which exposes the aggregated data as Prometheus metrics
These servers can be used for efficient aggregating of statsd data and sending it to VictoriaMetrics
according to https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#how-to-send-data-from-graphite-compatible-agents-such-as-statsd (
the https://github.com/prometheus/statsd_exporter can be scraped as usual Prometheus target
according to https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#how-to-scrape-prometheus-exporters-such-as-node-exporter ).
Adding support for statsd data ingestion protocol into VictoriaMetrics makes sense only if it provides
significant advantages over the existing statsd servers, while has no significant drawbacks comparing
to existing statsd servers.
The main advantage of statsd server built into VictoriaMetrics and vmagent - getting rid of additional statsd server.
The main drawback is non-trivial and inconvenient streaming aggregation configs, which must be used for the ingested statsd metrics (
see https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/ ). These configs are incompatible with the configs for standalone statsd servers.
So you need to manually translate configs of the used statsd server to stream aggregation configs when migrating
from standalone statsd server to statsd server built into VictoriaMetrics (or vmagent).
Another important drawback is that it is very easy to shoot yourself in the foot when using built-in statsd server
with the -statsd.disableAggregationEnforcement command-line flag or with improperly configured streaming aggregation.
In this case the ingested statsd metrics will be stored to VictoriaMetrics as is without any aggregation.
This may result in high CPU usage during data ingestion, high disk space usage for storing all the unaggregated
statsd metrics and high CPU usage during querying, since all the unaggregated metrics must be read, unpacked and processed
during querying.
P.S. Built-in statsd server can be added to VictoriaMetrics and vmagent after figuring out more ergonomic
specialized configuration for aggregating of statsd metrics. The main requirements for this configuration:
- easy to write, read and update (ideally it should work out of the box for most cases without additional configuration)
- hard to misconfigure (e.g. hard to shoot yourself in the foot)
It would be great if this configuration will be compatible with the configuration of the most widely used statsd server.
In the mean time it is recommended continue using external statsd server.
