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.

* It must reduce memory usage for misbehaving clients. Since
VictoriaMetrics stores sparse index inmemory.
* Reduce disk space usage for indexdb.
* Prevent possible indexDB items drops.
* It may trigger slow insert and new timeseries registration due to
default value for flag change

* adds datadog extensions for statsd:
- multiple packed values (v1.1)
- additional types distribution, histogram
* adds type check and append metric type to the labels with special tag
name `__statsd_metric_type__`. It simplifies streaming aggregation
config.

Examples:
1) -metricsAuthKey=file:///abs/path/to/file - reads flag value from the given absolute filepath
2) -metricsAuthKey=file://./relative/path/to/file - reads flag value from the given relative filepath
3) -metricsAuthKey=http://some-host/some/path?query_arg=abc - reads flag value from the given url
The flag value is automatically updated when the file contents changes.

- Add Try* prefix to functions, which return bool result in order to improve readability and reduce the probability of missing check
for the result returned from these functions.
- Call the adjustSampleValues() only once on input samples. Previously it was called on every attempt to flush data to peristent queue.
- Properly restore the initial state of WriteRequest passed to tryPushWriteRequest() before returning from this function
after unsuccessful push to persistent queue. Previously a part of WriteRequest samples may be lost in such case.
- Add -remoteWrite.dropSamplesOnOverload command-line flag, which can be used for dropping incoming samples instead
of returning 429 Too Many Requests error to the client when -remoteWrite.disableOnDiskQueue is set and the remote storage
cannot keep up with the data ingestion rate.
- Add vmagent_remotewrite_samples_dropped_total metric, which counts the number of dropped samples.
- Add vmagent_remotewrite_push_failures_total metric, which counts the number of unsuccessful attempts to push
data to persistent queue when -remoteWrite.disableOnDiskQueue is set.
- Remove vmagent_remotewrite_aggregation_metrics_dropped_total and vm_promscrape_push_samples_dropped_total metrics,
because they are replaced with vmagent_remotewrite_samples_dropped_total metric.
- Update 'Disabling on-disk persistence' docs at docs/vmagent.md
- Update stale comments in the code

* app/vmagent: allow to disabled on-disk queue
Previously, it wasn't possible to build data processing pipeline with a
chain of vmagents. In case when remoteWrite for the last vmagent in the
chain wasn't accessible, it persisted data only when it has enough disk
capacity. If disk queue is full, it started to silently drop ingested
metrics.
New flags allows to disable on-disk persistent and immediatly return an
error if remoteWrite is not accessible anymore. It blocks any writes and
notify client, that data ingestion isn't possible.
Main use case for this feature - use external queue such as kafka for
data persistence.

This is a follow-up for f60c08a7bd
Changes:
- Make sure all the urls related to NewRelic protocol start from /newrelic . Previously some urls were started from /api/v1/newrelic
- Remove /api/v1 part from NewRelic urls, since it has no sense
- Remove automatic transformation from CamelCase to snake_case for NewRelic labels and metric names,
since it may complicate the transition from NewRelic to VictoriaMetrics. Preserve all the metric names and label names,
so users could query metrics and labels by the same names which are used in NewRelic.
The automatic transformation from CamelCase to snake_case can be added later as a special action for relabeling rules if needed.
- Properly update per-tenant data ingestion stats at app/vmagent/newrelic/request_handler.go . Previously it was always zero.
- Fix NewRelic urls in vmagent when multitenant data ingestion is enabled. Previously they were mistakenly started from `/`.
- Document NewRelic data ingestion url at docs/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.md
- Remove superflouos memory allocations at lib/protoparser/newrelic
- Improve tests at lib/protoparser/newrelic/*
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3520
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/4712
* lib/protoparser: adds opentelemetry parser
app/{vmagent,vminsert}: adds opentelemetry ingestion path
Adds ability to ingest data with opentelemetry protocol
protobuf and json encoding is supported
data converted into prometheus protobuf timeseries
each data type has own converter and it may produce multiple timeseries
from single datapoint (for summary and histogram).
only cumulative aggregationFamily is supported for sum(prometheus
counter) and histogram.

- Remove support for JSON parsing, since it is too fragile and is rarely used in practice.
The most clients send OpenTelemetry metrics in protobuf.
The JSON parser can be added in the future if needed.
- Remove unused code from lib/protoparser/opentelemetry/pb and lib/protoparser/opentelemetry/proto
- Do not re-use protobuf message between ParseStream() calls, since there is high chance
of high fragmentation of the re-used message because of too complex nested structure of the message.

Previously the -maxConcurrentInserts was limiting the number of established client connections,
which write data to VictoriaMetrics. Some of these connections could be idle.
Such connections do not consume big amounts of CPU and RAM, so there is a little sense in limiting
the number of such connections. So now the -maxConcurrentInserts command-line option
limits the number of concurrently executed insert requests, not including idle connections.
It is recommended removing -maxConcurrentInserts command-line option, since the default value
for this option should work good for most cases.
dd-agent v5 can issue some requests with trailing slashes.
(e.g.
526559be73/ddagent.py (L303))
Trim trailing slashes for request on /datadog/ paths to accomodate for
that.

- Remove unused js bloatware from /targets page. This strips down binary size by more than 100Kb
- Add /service-discovery page for API compatibility with Prometheus
- Properly load bootstrap.min.css from /prometheus/targets
- Serve static contents for /targets page from app/vminsert instead of app/vmselect, because /targets page is served from there
