The new flag type is supposed to be used for specifying URL values which
could contain sensitive information such as auth tokens in GET params or
HTTP basic authentication.
The URL flag also allows loading its value from files if `file://`
prefix is specified. As example, the new flag type was used in
app/vmbackup as it requires specifying `authKey` param for making the
snapshot.

We don't cover this corner case as it has low chance for reproduction.
Precisely, the requirements are following:
1. vmagent need to be configured with multiple identical `remoteWrite.url` flags;
2. At least one of the persistent queues need to be non-empty, which already
signalizes about issues with setup;
3. vmagent need to be restarted with removing of one of `remoteWrite.url` flags.
We do not document this case in vmagent.md as it seems to be a rare corner case
and its explanation will require too much of explanation and confuse users.

Starting from v1.99.0 vmalert could ignore anchors pointing to specific
rule groups if `search` param was present in URL.
This change makes anchors compatible with `search` param in UI.

Stream aggregation may yield inaccurate results if it processes incomplete data.
This issue can arise when data is sourced from clients that maintain a queue of unsent data, such as Prometheus or vmagent.
If the queue isn't fully cleared within the aggregation interval, only a portion of the time series may be included in that period, leading to distorted calculations.
To mitigate this we add an option to ignore first N aggregation intervals. It is expected, that client queues
will be cleared during the time while aggregation ignores first N intervals and all subsequent aggregations
will be correct.
The memory usage for plain sync.Pool doesn't increase comparing to the memory usage for the hybrid scheme,
so it is better to use plain sync.Pool in order to simplify the code and make it more readable and maintainable.
This is a follow-up for c22da2f917
Data ingestion benchmark doesn't show memory usage difference between two approaches,
so let's use simpler approach in order to improve code readability and maintainability.
This is a follow-up for 77c597738c
This scheme was used for reducing memory usage when vmagent runs on a machine with big number of CPU cores
and the ingestion rate isn't too big. The scheme with channel-based pool could reduce memory usage,
since it minimizes the number of PushCtx structs in the pool in this case.
Performance tests didn't reveal significant difference in memory usage under both low and high ingestion rate
between plain sync.Pool and the current hybrid scheme, so replace the scheme with plain sync.Pool in order
to simplify the code.
There was a sleep statement in the test, waiting for Group
to perform a couple of evaluation. But looks like
it worked unreliable for some CI tests like the one below
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/actions/runs/8718213844/job/23915007958?pr=6115
This commit changes the sleep statement on a function that
waits for a specific number of evaluations. It should make this
test faster in general case, and more reliable for slow environemnts.
This simplifies further maintenance and opens doors for additional config options
supported by lib/promauth. For example, an ability to specify client TLS certificates.
- Use exact matching by default for the query arg value provided via arg=value syntax at src_query_args.
Regex matching can be enabled by using =~ instead of = . For example, arg=~regex.
This ensures that the exact matching works as expected without the need to escape special regex chars.
- Add helper functions for creating QueryArg, Header and Regex structs in tests.
This improves maintainability of the tests.
- Remove url.QueryUnescape() call on the url in TestCreateTargetURLSuccess(), since this is bogus approach.
The url.QueryUnescape() must be applied to individual query args, and it mustn't be applied to the whole url,
since in this case it may perform invalid unescaping in the context of the url, or make the resulting url invalid.
While at it, properly marshal all the fields inside UserInfo config to yaml in tests.
Previously Header and QueryArg structs were improperly marshaled because the custom MarshalYAML
is called only on pointers to Header and QueryArg structs. This improves test coverage.

* app/vmauth: do not increment backend_errors when hitting concurrency limit
Previously, both "vmauth_concurrent_requests_limit_reached_total" and "vmauth_user_request_backend_errors_total" were incremented.
This was based on the assumption that if concurrency limit is hit the backend must be failing to handle the request thus meaning an error.
This assumption does not work in case the endpoint can be overloaded by the misbehaving client sending too many requests within the timeframe.

- 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().

- Allow specifying only a single HTTP header for reading auth tokens via -httpAuthHeader command-line flag.
This is better from security PoV, since this prevents from accidental reading of auth token from undesired
HTTP header. By default the -httpAuthHeader equals to Authorization. When it is overridden, then
auth token isn't read from Authorization header - it is read only from the specified header.

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.

* lib/storage: consistently use MaxTimestamp to determine deduplication/downsampling rules
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.
- Document the feature at docs/CHANGELOG.md.

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
destination.

To horizontally scale streaming aggregation, you might want to deploy a separate hashing tier
of vmagents that route to a separate aggregation tier. The hashing tier should shard by all labels
except the instance-level labels, to ensure the input metrics are routed correctly to the aggregator
instance responsible for those labels.
For this to achieve we introduce `remoteWrite.shardByURL.inverseLabels` flag to inverse logic of `remoteWrite.shardByURL.labels`

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.

* fix changelog
* fix review comment
When `--vm-native-step-interval` is specified, explore phase will be executed
within specified intervals. Discovered metric names will be associated with
time intervals at which they were discovered. This suppose to reduce number
of requests vmctl makes per metric name since it will skip time intervals
when metric name didn't exist.
This should also reduce probability of exceeding complexity limits
for number of selected series in one request during explore phase.
