* Add vendor license checker, update codecov action, add dependbot for github actions
* update gitingore, temprorary turn on check
* fix action name
* change action rules to trigger only when vendor changes
* remove obsolete line from main action
Starting from v1.56.0 VM supports `round_digits` which allows to limit
the number of digits after the decimal point in response value. The feature
can be used to reduce entropy of produced by recording rules values
and significantly improve the compression. See more details in link below.

Previously, `startGroup` could exit on restore errors despite the
`remoteRead.ignoreRestoreErrors` flag value. Now vmalert checks the
flag value before deciding whether to return error or just log it.
This should eliminate possible race when an update on endpoints depends on pods and/or services, which are missing in the cache yet.
This could result in missing targets based on endpoints or endpointslices.

Alerting rules now can return specific error type ErrStateRestore to indicate
whether restore state procedure failed. Such errors were returned and logged
before as well. But now user can specify whether to just log these errors
(remoteRead.ignoreRestoreErrors=true) or to stop the process
(remoteRead.ignoreRestoreErrors=false). The latter is important when VM isn't
ready yet to serve queries from vmalert and it needs to wait.

Panics may leave the process in inconsistent state. That's why it is better to stop the process after the panic
instead of recovering from the panic. Unfortunately, the standard net/http.Server recovers panics in request handlers.
See https://github.com/golang/go/issues/16542 . That's lib/httpserver must stop the process on itself after the panic.
* Simplify arguments list for fn `queryDataSource` to improve readbility
* vmalert: adjust `time` param according to rule evaluation interval
With this change, vmalert will start to use rule's evaluation interval
for truncating the `time` param. This is mostly needed to produce consistent
time series with timestamps unaffected by vmalert start time. Now, timestamp
becomes predictable.
Additionally, adjustment is similar to what Grafana does for plotting range graphs.
Hence, recording rule series and recording rule expression plotted in grafana
suppose to become similar in most of cases.
* changes vmalert Querier with per rule querier
it allows to changes some parametrs based on rule setting
for instance - alert type, tenant for cluster version or event endpoint url.
Previously, vmalert used `lastExecTime` timestamp when writing recording rules
to the remote storage. This may be incorrect, if vmalert uses `datasource.lookback` flag,
which means rule's expression will be executed at some moment in the past.
To avoid such situations, vmalert now will use returned timestamp instead of `lastExecTime`.
