This simplifies debugging tests and makes the test code more clear and concise.

While at is, consistently use t.Fatal* instead of t.Error* across tests, since t.Error*
requires more boilerplate code, which can result in additional bugs inside tests.
While t.Error* allows writing logging errors for the same, this doesn't simplify fixing
broken tests most of the time.
This is a follow-up for a9525da8a4
'any' type is supported starting from Go1.18. Let's consistently use it
instead of 'interface{}' type across the code base, since `any` is easier to read than 'interface{}'.
vmctl: properly convert influx bools into integer representation
When using vmctl influx, the import would fail importing boolean fields
with:
```
failed to convert value "some".0 to float64: unexpected value type true
```
This converts `true` to `1` and `false` to `0`.
Fixes#1709
The `::tag` type is needed in cases when field and tag names are equal, which
results into unexpected results in InfluxQL. Setting the type explicitly helps
InfluxDB to understand which exact column we apply filter to.

It is better developing vmctl tool in VictoriaMetrics repository, so it could be released
together with the rest of vmutils tools such as vmalert, vmagent, vmbackup, vmrestore and vmauth.
