- Move uniqueFields from rows to blockStreamMerger struct.
This allows localizing all the references to uniqueFields inside blockStreamMerger.mustWriteBlock(),
which should improve readability and maintainability of the code.
- Remove logging of the event when blocks cannot be merged because they contain more than maxColumnsPerBlock,
since the provided logging didn't provide the solution for the issue with too many columns.
I couldn't figure out the proper solution, which could be helpful for end user,
so decided to remove the logging until we find the solution.
This commit also contains the following additional changes:
- It truncates field names longer than 128 chars during logs ingestion.
This should prevent from ingesting bogus field names.
This also should prevent from too big columnsHeader blocks,
which could negatively affect search query performance,
since columnsHeader is read on every scan of the corresponding data block.
- It limits the maximum length of const column value to 256.
Longer values are stored in an ordinary columns.
This helps limiting the size of columnsHeader blocks
and improving search query performance by avoiding
reading too long const columns on every scan of the corresponding data block.
- It deduplicates columns with identical names during data ingestion
and background merging. Previously it was possible to pass columns with duplicate names
to block.mustInitFromRows(), and they were stored as is in the block.

- Compare the actual free disk space to the value provided via -storage.minFreeDiskSpaceBytes
directly inside the Storage.IsReadOnly(). This should work fast in most cases.
This simplifies the logic at lib/storage.
- Do not take into account -storage.minFreeDiskSpaceBytes during background merges, since
it results in uncontrolled growth of small parts when the free disk space approaches -storage.minFreeDiskSpaceBytes.
The background merge logic uses another mechanism for determining whether there is enough
disk space for the merge - it reserves the needed disk space before the merge
and releases it after the merge. This prevents from out of disk space errors during background merge.
- Properly handle corner cases for flushing in-memory data to disk when the storage
enters read-only mode. This is better than losing the in-memory data.
- Return back Storage.MustAddRows() instead of Storage.AddRows(),
since the only case when AddRows() can return error is when the storage is in read-only mode.
This case must be handled by the caller by calling Storage.IsReadOnly()
before adding rows to the storage.
This simplifies the code a bit, since the caller of Storage.MustAddRows() shouldn't handle
errors returned by Storage.AddRows().
- Properly store parsed logs to Storage if parts of the request contain invalid log lines.
Previously the parsed logs could be lost in this case.

Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/4945
* lib/logstorage: switch to read-only mode when running out of disk space
Added support of `--storage.minFreeDiskSpaceBytes` command-line flag to allow graceful handling of running out of disk space at `--storageDataPath`.

- Parse protobuf if Content-Type isn't set to `application/json` - this behavior is documented at https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/api/#push-log-entries-to-loki
- Properly handle gzip'ped JSON requests. The `gzip` header must be read from `Content-Encoding` instead of `Content-Type` header
- Properly flush all the parsed logs with the explicit call to vlstorage.MustAddRows() at the end of query handler
- Check JSON field types more strictly.
- Allow parsing Loki timestamp as floating-point number. Such a timestamp can be generated by some clients,
which store timestamps in float64 instead of int64.
- Optimize parsing of Loki labels in Prometheus text exposition format.
- Simplify tests.
- Remove lib/slicesutil, since there are no more users for it.
- Update docs with missing info and fix various typos. For example, it should be enough to have `instance` and `job` labels
as stream fields in most Loki setups.
- Allow empty of missing timestamps in the ingested logs.
The current timestamp at VictoriaLogs side is then used for the ingested logs.
This simplifies debugging and testing of the provided HTTP-based data ingestion APIs.
The remaining MAJOR issue, which needs to be addressed: victoria-logs binary size increased from 13MB to 22MB
after adding support for Loki data ingestion protocol at https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/4482 .
This is because of shitty protobuf dependencies. They must be replaced with another protobuf implementation
similar to the one used at lib/prompb or lib/prompbmarshal .
