- Automatically reload changed TLS root CA pointed by -remoteWrite.tlsCAFile command-line flag
- Automatically reload changed TLS root CA configured via oauth2.tsl_config.ca_file option at -promscrape.config
- Document the change as a feature instead of a bug at docs/CHANGELOG.md
- Simplify the code at lib/promauth, which is responsible for reloading changed TLS root CA files.
- Simplify the usage of lib/promauth.Config.NewRoundTripper() - now it accepts the base http.Transport
instead of a callback, which can change the internal http.Transport.
- Reuse the default tls config if lib/promauth.Config doesn't contain tls-specific configs.
This should reduce memory usage a bit when tls isn't used for scraping big number of targets.
- Do not re-read TLS root CA files on every processed request. Re-read them once per second.
This should reduce CPU usage when scraping big number of targets over https.
- Do not store cert.pem and key.pem files in TestTLSConfigWithCertificatesFilesUpdate, since they can be loaded
from byte slices via crypto/tls.X509KeyPair().
- Remove obsolete comparisons of string representations for authConfig and proxyAuthConfig at areEqualScrapeConfigs().

* lib/{promauth,promscrape}: automatically refresh root CA certificates after changes on disk
Added a custom `http.RoundTripper` implementation which checks for root CA content changes and updates `tls.Config` used by `http.RoundTripper` after detecting CA change.
Client certificate changes are not tracked by this implementation since `tls.Config` already supports passing certificate dynamically by overriding `tls.Config.GetClientCertificate`.
This change implements dynamic reload of root CA only for streaming client used for scraping. Blocking client (`fasthttp.HostClient`) does not support using custom transport so can't use this implementation.

This reverts commit cb23685681.
Reason for revert: the "fix" may hide programming bugs related to incorrect creation of folders
before their use. This may complicate detecting and fixing such bugs in the future.
There are the following fixes for the issue https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5985 :
- To configure the OS to do not drop data from the system-wide temporary directory (aka /tmp).
- To run VictoriaMetrics with -cacheDataPath command-line flag, which points to the directory,
which cannot be removed automatically by the OS.
The case when the user accidentally deletes the directory with some files created by VictoriaMetrics
shouldn't be considered as expected, so VictoriaMetrics shouldn't try resolving this case automatically.
It is much better from operation and debuggability PoV is to crash with the clear `directory doesn't exist` error
in this case.
The remotewrite.Stop() expects that there are no pending calls to TryPush().
This means that the ingestionRateLimiter.Register() must be unblocked inside TryPush() when calling remotewrite.Stop().
Provide remotewrite.StopIngestionRateLimiter() function for unblocking the rate limiter before calling the remotewrite.Stop().
While at it, move the rate limiter into lib/ratelimiter package, since it has two users.
Also move the description of the feature to the correct place at docs/CHANGELOG.md.
Also cross-reference -remoteWrite.rateLimit and -maxIngestionRate command-line flags.
This is a follow-up for 02bccd1eb9
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/5900
Custom HTTP headers are set via net/http.Header.Set or net/http.Header.Add functions.
These functions always convert header keys to canonical form. So the change at b577413d3b
isn't visible to users of VictoriaMetrics components.
There is no need in documenting this change at docs/CHANGELOG.md, since it doesn't give any useful information to users.

Using MinTimestamp leads to applying downsampling to parts which are only partially covered by downsampling rule.
For example, partition covers range [1000-2000]. At t=2100 and rule offset 500 data with t=2100-500 => 1600 must be downsampled. The range check against MinTimestamp evaluates to true even though partition contains range which must not be downsampled - [1600:2000].

* Follow-up
- Apply the first matching downsampling period if multiple filters match the given time series.
This allows fine-tuning the downsampling config for the specific needs.
- Take into account downsampling filters during search queries.
- Reduce the difference between community and enterprise branches. This should simplify further maintenance of these branches.
- Properly parse series filters with colons inside them.

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

vmselect uses a cache folder in file system for two purposes:
1. Storing rollup cache results on shutdown;
2. Storing temporary search results from vmstorage during query executions.
It could happen that cache folder is deleted accidentally by user, or by OS
during cleanup routines. This would cause vmselect to:
1. panic on /metrics call, because `MustGetFreeSpace` will fail;
2. return query error user, as it won't be able to store temporary search results.
The changes in this commit are the following:
1. Make `MustGetFreeSpace` to try re-creating the cache folder if it is missing;
2. Make vmselect to try re-creating the cache folder if it can't persist tmp search
results.

If tlsServerName isn't empty, then it is likely the https request is sent to IP instead of hostname.

The `match[]` filter is mandatory at /api/v1/series, so it mustn't be dropped here.
There is no sense in dropping `match[]` filter together with `extra_label` and `extra_filters[]`
at /api/v1/labels and /api/v1/label/.../values if -search.ignoreExtraFiltersAtLabelsAPI commnad-line flag is set,
since:
- the `match[]` filter triggers slow path at these APIs;
- the `extra_label` and `extra_filters[]` filters narrow down the number of matched time series,
so they improve performance comparing to the case when only `match[]` filter is left,
while `extra_label` and `extra_filters[]` filters are dropped.

During background downsampling, rate(vm_deduplicated_samples_total{type="merge"}) could be much bigger than
rate(vm_rows_added_to_storage_total) and it could last quite some time,
which causes negative values of Storage full ETA and confuses users, see playground.
Instead of trying to get more accurate results during downsampling, I think it's ok to ignore
vm_deduplicated_samples_total at all, it's more reasonable to see Storage full ETA increase after downsampling.
