Previously only logs inside the selected time range could be returned by stream_context pipe.
For example, the following query could return up to 10 surrounding logs only for the last 5 minutes,
while most users expect this query should return up to 10 surrounding logs without restrictions on the time range.
_time:5m panic | stream_context before 10
This enables the ability to implement stream context feature at VictoriaLogs web UI: https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/7063 .
Reduce memory usage when returning stream context over big log streams with millions of entries.
The new logic scans over all the log messages for the selected log stream, while keeping in memory only
the given number of surrounding logs. Previously all the logs for the given log stream on the selected time range
were loaded in memory before selecting the needed surrounding logs.
This should help https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/6730 .
Reduce the scan performance for big log streams by fetching only the requested fields. For example, the following
query should be executed much faster than before if logs contain many fields other than _stream, _msg and _time:
panic | stream_context after 30 | fields _stream, _msg, _time
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
VictoriaLogs allows logs without `_msg` field or `_msg` field is empty.
This lead to incorrect search result. See:
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/6785
This pull request search for non-empty `_msg` field before log entry is
added to `LogRows`.
New counter `vl_rows_dropped_total{reason="msg_not_exist"}` is
introduced.
Example log output:
```

Previously the original timestamp was used in the copied query, so _time:duration filters
were applied to the original time range: (timestamp-duration ... timestamp]. This resulted
in stopped live tailing, since new logs have timestamps bigger than the original time range.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/7028
This pipe is useful for debugging purposes when the number of processed blocks must be calculated for the given query:
<query> | blocks_count
This helps detecting the root cause of query performance slowdown in cases like https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/7070
### Describe Your Changes

version in a single place and override it on demand for each agent and
protocol
- Replaced multiple victorialogs instances in HA setup with single setup

- Added fluentd setup

By default, the `elasticsearchexporter` in OTel Collector puts the log
message under a field other than `_msg` (e.g., `Body`). Without
specifying via an HTTP header, those logs may not be queried correctly.

This pull request updates the example configuration and notes for the
`elasticsearchexporter`.

This is needed for avoiding confusion between the `|` operator at `math` pipe and `|` pipe delimiter.
For example, the following query was parsed unexpectedly:
* | math foo / bar | fields x
as
* | math foo / (bar | fields) as x
Substituting `|` with `or` inside `math` pipe fixes this ambiguity.
Previously per-token hashes for per-block bloom filters were re-calculated on every scanned block.
This could be slow when the number of tokens is big or when the number of blocks to scan is big.
Pre-calculate hashes for bloom filters and then use them for searching in bloom filters.
This improves performance by 2.5x for in(...) filters with many values to search inside `in()`.
Previously (f1:foo OR f2:bar) was incorrectly returning `foo` token for `f1` and `bar` token for `f2`.
These tokens were used for checking against bloom filter for every data block, so the data block,
which didn't contain simultaneously `foo` token for `f1` field and `bar` token for `f2` field, was skipped.
This was incorrect, since such a block may contain logs matching the original OR filter.
The fix is to return common tokens from `OR`-delimted filters only if these tokens exist at EVERY such filter
for the given field name. If some `OR`-delimited filter misses the given field name, then `OR`-delimited filters
do not contain common tokens, which could be used for checking against bloom filter.
While at it, add more tests covering various edge cases for filters delimited by AND and OR.

Commit adds the following changes:
* Adds support of OpenTelemetry logs for Victoria Logs with protobuf encoded messages
* json encoding is not supported for the following reasons:
- It brings a lot of fragile code, which works inefficiently.
- json encoding is impossible to use with language SDK.
* splits metrics and logs structures at lib/protoparser/opentelemetry/pb package.
* adds docs with examples for opentelemetry logs.

* updates change log
* adds VL-Debug http header
* updates doc
* extracts only the first value of http headers for VL-Stream-Fields and VL-Ignore-Fields.
It makes behaviour the same as Query string args. And allows to easily configure client applications.

* Many collectors don't support forwarding url query params to the remote system. It makes impossible to define stream fields for it. Workaround with proxy between VictoriaLogs and log shipper is too complicated solution.
* This commit adds the following changes:
* Adds fallback to to headers params, if query param is empty for:
_msg_field -> VL-Msg-Field
_stream_fields -> VL-Stream-Fields
_ignore_fields -> VL-Ignore-Fields
_time_field -> VL-Time-Field
* removes deprecations from victorialogs compose files, added more
output format examples for logstash, telegraf, fluent-bit

Previously the in-memory buffer could remain unflushed for long periods of time under low ingestion rate.
The ingested logs weren't visible for search during this time.
The set of log fields in the found logs may differ from the set of log fields present in the log stream.
So compare only the log fields in the found logs when searching for the matching log entry in the log stream.
While at it, return _stream field in the delimiter log entry, since this field is used by VictoriaLogs Web UI
for grouping logs by log streams.
