* app/vmselect: limit the number of parallel workers by 32
The change should improve performance and memory usage during query processing
on machines with big number of CPU cores. The number of parallel workers for
query processing is controlled via `-search.maxWorkersPerQuery` command-line flag.
By default, the number of workers is limited by the number of available CPU cores,
but not more than 32. The limit can be increased via `-search.maxWorkersPerQuery`.

* wip
- The `-search.maxWorkersPerQuery` command-line flag doesn't limit resource usage,
so move it from the `resource usage limits` to `troubleshooting` chapter at docs/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.md
- Make more clear the description for the `-search.maxWorkersPerQuery` command-line flag
- Add the description of `-search.maxWorkersPerQuery` to docs/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.md
- Limit the maximum value, which can be passed to `-search.maxWorkersPerQuery`, to GOMAXPROCS,
because bigger values may worsen query performance and increase CPU usage
- Improve the the description of the change at docs/CHANGELOG.md. Mark it as FEATURE instead of BUGFIX,
since it is closer to a feature than to a bugfix.

This is a follow-up for f60c08a7bd
Changes:
- Make sure all the urls related to NewRelic protocol start from /newrelic . Previously some urls were started from /api/v1/newrelic
- Remove /api/v1 part from NewRelic urls, since it has no sense
- Remove automatic transformation from CamelCase to snake_case for NewRelic labels and metric names,
since it may complicate the transition from NewRelic to VictoriaMetrics. Preserve all the metric names and label names,
so users could query metrics and labels by the same names which are used in NewRelic.
The automatic transformation from CamelCase to snake_case can be added later as a special action for relabeling rules if needed.
- Properly update per-tenant data ingestion stats at app/vmagent/newrelic/request_handler.go . Previously it was always zero.
- Fix NewRelic urls in vmagent when multitenant data ingestion is enabled. Previously they were mistakenly started from `/`.
- Document NewRelic data ingestion url at docs/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.md
- Remove superflouos memory allocations at lib/protoparser/newrelic
- Improve tests at lib/protoparser/newrelic/*

* lib/promscrape: make concurrency control optional
Before, `-maxConcurrentInserts` was limiting all calls to `promscrape.Parse`
function: during ingestion and scraping. This behavior is incorrect.
Cmd-line flag `-maxConcurrentInserts` should have effect onl on ingestion.
Since both pipelines use the same `promscrape.Parse` function, we extend it
to make concurrency limiter optional. So caller can decide whether concurrency
should be limited or not.
This commit makes c53b5788b4
obsolete.

- 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.

* lib/promscrape: add metric `vm_promscrape_scrapes_skipped_total`
add metric `vm_promscrape_scrapes_skipped_total`to show whether vmagent skips the scrapes.
This could happen if vmagent is overloaded or target is responding too slow for configured `scrape_interval`.
The follow-up commit should add a corresponding alerting rule and panel to vmagent dashboard.

- 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.

This should reduce tail latency during data ingestion.
This shouldn't slow down data ingestion in the worst case, since assisted merges are spread among
distinct addRows/addItems calls after this change.
* lib/logstorage: prevent from panic during background merge
Fixes panic during background merge when resulting block would contain more columns than maxColumnsPerBlock.

It was added in order to limit number of goroutines performing assisted merges during ingestion.
It turned out that blocking ingestion goroutines lower ingestion performance and limits overall ingestion around 40k items per seconds because of lock contention.
Removing parts merge sync.Cond allows to remove lock contention at write path and significantly improves write performance.

lib/promscrape/discovery/kubernetes: supress context.Cancelled error in logs
It is possible that context.Cancelled will appear after k8s watcher was closed due to reload(see https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4850).
Logging an error misinforms user and looks like vmagent discovery will stop working even though this does not affect discovery.
