During shutdown period of vmalert, remotewrite client retrieve all pending time series from buffer queue, compose them into 1 batch and execute remote write.
This final batch may exceed the limit of -remoteWrite.maxBatchSize, and be rejected by the receiver (gateway, vmcluster or others).
This changes ensures that even during shutdown vmalert won't exceed the max batch size limit for remote write
destination.

It was calculating the number of dropped time series instead of the number of dropped samples.
While at it, drop vmalert_remotewrite_dropped_bytes_total metric, since it was inconsistently calculated -
at one place it was calculating raw protobuf-encoded sample sizes, while at another place it was calculating
the size of snappy-compressed prompbmarshal.WriteRequest protobuf message.
Additionally, this metric has zero practical sense, so just drop it in order to reduce the level of confusion.
* app/vmalert: update remote-write process
* automatically retry remote-write requests on closed connections. The change should reduce the amount of logs produced in environments with short-living connections or environments without support of keep-alive on network balancers.
* increment `vmalert_remotewrite_errors_total` metric if all retries to send remote-write request failed. Before, this metric was incremented only if remote-write client's buffer is overloaded.
* increment `vmalert_remotewrite_dropped_rows_total` amd `vmalert_remotewrite_dropped_bytes_total` metrics if remote-write client's buffer is overloaded. Before, these metrics were incremented only after unsuccessful HTTP calls.

- Make sure that invalid/missing TLS CA file or TLS client certificate files at vmagent startup
don't prevent from processing the corresponding scrape targets after the file becomes correct,
without the need to restart vmagent.
Previously scrape targets with invalid TLS CA file or TLS client certificate files
were permanently dropped after the first attempt to initialize them, and they didn't
appear until the next vmagent reload or the next change in other places of the loaded scrape configs.
- Make sure that TLS CA is properly re-loaded from file after it changes without the need to restart vmagent.
Previously the old TLS CA was used until vmagent restart.
- Properly handle errors during http request creation for the second attempt to send data to remote system
at vmagent and vmalert. Previously failed request creation could result in nil pointer dereferencing,
since the returned request is nil on error.
- Add more context to the logged error during AWS sigv4 request signing before sending the data to -remoteWrite.url at vmagent.
Previously it could miss details on the source of the request.
- Do not create a new HTTP client per second when generating OAuth2 token needed to put in Authorization header
of every http request issued by vmagent during service discovery or target scraping.
Re-use the HTTP client instead until the corresponding scrape config changes.
- Cache error at lib/promauth.Config.GetAuthHeader() in the same way as the auth header is cached,
e.g. the error is cached for a second now. This should reduce load on CPU and OAuth2 server
when auth header cannot be obtained because of temporary error.
- Share tls.Config.GetClientCertificate function among multiple scrape targets with the same tls_config.
Cache the loaded certificate and the error for one second. This should significantly reduce CPU load
when scraping big number of targets with the same tls_config.
- Allow loading TLS certificates from HTTP and HTTPs urls by specifying these urls at `tls_config->cert_file` and `tls_config->key_file`.
- Improve test coverage at lib/promauth
- Skip unreachable or invalid files specified at `scrape_config_files` during vmagent startup, since these files may become valid later.
Previously vmagent was exitting in this case.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4959
* fix inconsistent behaviors with prometheus when scraping
1. address https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4959. skip job with wrong syntax in `scrape_configs` with error logs instead of exiting;
2. show error messages on vmagent /targets ui if there are wrong auth configs in `scrape_configs`, previously will print error logs and do scrape without auth header;
3. don't send requests if there are wrong auth configs in:
1. vmagent remoteWrite;
2. vmalert datasource/remoteRead/remoteWrite/notifier.
* add changelogs
* address review comments
* fix ut
