This eliminates the need in .(*T) casting for results obtained from Load()
Leave atomic.Value for map, since atomic.Pointer[map[...]...] makes double pointer to map,
because map is already a pointer type.
- Do not generate __meta_server label, since it is unavailable in Prometheus.
- Add a link to https://docs.victoriametrics.com/sd_configs.html#kuma_sd_configs to docs/CHANGELOG.md,
so users could click it and read the docs without the need to search the corresponding docs.
- Remove kumaTarget struct, since it is easier generating labels for discovered targets
directly from the response returned by Kuma. This simplifies the code.
- Store the generated labels for discovered targets inside atomic.Value. This allows reading them
from concurrent goroutines without the need to use mutex.
- Use synchronouse requests to Kuma instead of long polling, since there is a little sense
in the long polling when the Kuma server may return 304 Not Modified response every -promscrape.kumaSDCheckInterval.
- Remove -promscrape.kuma.waitTime command-line flag, since it is no longer needed when long polling isn't used.
- Set default value for -promscrape.kumaSDCheckInterval to 30s in order to be consistent with Prometheus.
- Remove unnecessary indirections for string literals, which are used only once, in order to improve code readability.
- Remove unused fields from discoveryRequest and discoveryResponse.
- Update tests.
- Document why fetch_timeout and refresh_interval options are missing in kuma_sd_config.
- Add docs to discoveryutils.RequestCallback and discoveryutils.ResponseCallback,
since these are public types.
Side notes: it is weird that Prometheus implementation for kuma_sd_configs sets `instance` label,
since usually this label is set by the Prometheus itself to __address__ after the relabeling phase.
