Occasionally, vmagent sends empty blocks to downstream servers. If a
downstream server returns an unexpected response, vmagent gets stuck in
a retry loop. While vmagent handles 400 and 409 errors, there are
various prometheus remote write implementations that return different
error codes. For example, vector returns a 422 error. To mitigate the
risk of vmagent getting stuck in a retry loop, it is advisable to skip
sending empty blocks to downstream servers.

- 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().

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
* [vmagent] added ingestion rate limiting with new flag `-maxIngestionRate`. This flag can be used to limit the number of samples ingested by vmagent per second. If the limit is exceeded, the ingestion rate will be throttled.
* fix changelog
* fix review comment
This should smooth CPU and RAM usage spikes related to these periodic tasks,
by reducing the probability that multiple concurrent periodic tasks are performed at the same time.
The user may which to control the endpoint parameters for instance to
set the audience when requesting an access token. Exposing the
parameters as a map allows for additional use cases without requiring
modification.
* app/vmagent: allow to disabled on-disk queue
Previously, it wasn't possible to build data processing pipeline with a
chain of vmagents. In case when remoteWrite for the last vmagent in the
chain wasn't accessible, it persisted data only when it has enough disk
capacity. If disk queue is full, it started to silently drop ingested
metrics.
New flags allows to disable on-disk persistent and immediatly return an
error if remoteWrite is not accessible anymore. It blocks any writes and
notify client, that data ingestion isn't possible.
Main use case for this feature - use external queue such as kafka for
data persistence.

- 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
* vmagent: retry failed write request on the closed connection
Retry failed write request on the closed connection immediately,
without waiting for backoff. This should improve data delivery speed
and reduce amount of error logs emitted by vmagent when using idle connections.

ioutil.ReadAll is deprecated since Go1.16 - see https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.16#ioutil
VictoriaMetrics requires at least Go1.18, so it is OK to switch from ioutil.ReadAll to io.ReadAll.
This is a follow-up for 02ca2342ab
The new metric `vmagent_remotewrite_queues` exports a static value of
number of configured remote write queus. This metric is useful to
calculate total saturation per each configured URL with given number
of queues. See corresponding changes to vmagent alerts and dashboard.

This adds a metric for the rate limit.
The limit is present as a flag currently:
`flag{name="remoteWrite.rateLimit", value="500000", is_set="true"} 1`
We are running many instances of vmagent and when creating alerts it is harder than it needs to be when extracting the value from the flag.
With this change it should be easier to monitor how close to the limit we are.
`((100/vmagent_remotewrite_rate_limit{account="account"})*sum (rate(vmagent_remotewrite_conn_bytes_written_total{account="account"}))) and ON (account) flag{name="remoteWrite.rateLimit"} == 1`
The following actions are taken:
- Increase the TLS hashdshake timeout from 5 seconds to 10 seconds
- Increase dial timeout from 5 seconds to 30 seconds
- Specify DialContext instead of Dial in http.Transport. This allows properly handling
the Context arg during dialing the remote storage

* vmagent: add error log for skipped data block when rejected by receiving side
