- Add Try* prefix to functions, which return bool result in order to improve readability and reduce the probability of missing check
for the result returned from these functions.
- Call the adjustSampleValues() only once on input samples. Previously it was called on every attempt to flush data to peristent queue.
- Properly restore the initial state of WriteRequest passed to tryPushWriteRequest() before returning from this function
after unsuccessful push to persistent queue. Previously a part of WriteRequest samples may be lost in such case.
- Add -remoteWrite.dropSamplesOnOverload command-line flag, which can be used for dropping incoming samples instead
of returning 429 Too Many Requests error to the client when -remoteWrite.disableOnDiskQueue is set and the remote storage
cannot keep up with the data ingestion rate.
- Add vmagent_remotewrite_samples_dropped_total metric, which counts the number of dropped samples.
- Add vmagent_remotewrite_push_failures_total metric, which counts the number of unsuccessful attempts to push
data to persistent queue when -remoteWrite.disableOnDiskQueue is set.
- Remove vmagent_remotewrite_aggregation_metrics_dropped_total and vm_promscrape_push_samples_dropped_total metrics,
because they are replaced with vmagent_remotewrite_samples_dropped_total metric.

* 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.

Tests showed that importing a single line with 70MB size takes 5.3GiB
RSS memory for VictoriaMetrics single-node.
In the scenario when user exports and imports data from one VM to another,
it could possibly lead to OOM exception for destination VM.
Importing a single line with 16MB size taks 1.3GiB RSS memory.
Hence, the limit for `import.maxLineLen` was decreased from 100MB to 10MB
to improve reliability of VictoriaMetrics during imports.

This case is possible after the following steps:
1. vmagent successfully performed handshake with the -remoteWrite.url and the remote storage supports zstd-compressed data.
2. remote storage became unavailable or slow to ingest data, vmagent compressed the collected data into blocks with zstd and puts these blocks to persistent queue on disk.
3. vmagent restarts and the remote storage is unavailable during the handshake, then vmagent falls back to Snappy compression.
4. vmagent starts sending zstd-compressed data from persistent queue to the remote storage, while falsely advertizing it sends Snappy-compressed data.
5. The remote storage receives zstd-compressed data and fails unpacking it with Snappy.
The solution is the same as 12cd32fd75, just fall back to zstd decompression if Snappy decompression fails.
The buffered connection could have exceeded the underlying connection
deadline during reading or writing to an internal buffer.
With this change, buffered connection struct additionally checks
for a deadline in Read/Write methods.

evalRollupFuncNoCache() may return time series with identical labels (aka duplicate series)
when performing queries satisfying all the following conditions:
- It must select time series with multiple metric names. For example, {__name__=~"foo|bar"}
- The series selector must be wrapped into rollup function, which drops metric names. For example, rate({__name__=~"foo|bar"})
- The rollup function must be wrapped into aggregate function, which has no streaming optimization.
For example, quantile(0.9, rate({__name__=~"foo|bar"})
In this case VictoriaMetrics shouldn't return `cannot merge series: duplicate series found` error.
Instead, it should fall back to query execution with disabled cache.
Also properly store the merged results. Previously they were incorrectly stored because of a typo
introduced in the commit 41a0fdaf39

This case is possible after the following steps:
1. vmagent tries to perform handshake with the -remoteWrite.url in order to determine whether
the remote storage supports zstd-compressed data.
2. The remote storage is unavailable during the handshake. In this case vmagent falls back to Snappy compression
for the data sent to the remote storage.
3. vmagent compresses the collected data into blocks with Snappy and puts these blocks to persistent queue on disk.
4. The remote storage becomes available.
5. vmagent restarts, performs the handshake with the remote storage and detects that it supports zstd-compressed data.
6. vmagent starts sending Snappy-compressed data from persistent queue to the remote storage,

Previously the `Host` header was remained unchanged when passing it in requests to backends.
This may improperly work if the backend uses host-based routing.

Previously entries which were accessed only 1 time weren't cached.

the number of cache misses needed before storing the block in the caching.

Repeated instant queries with long lookbehind windows, which contain one of the following rollup functions,
are optimized via partial result caching:
- sum_over_time()
- count_over_time()
- avg_over_time()
- increase()
- rate()
The basic idea of optimization is to calculate
rf(m[d] @ t)
as
rf(m[offset] @ t) + rf(m[d] @ (t-offset)) - rf(m[offset] @ (t-d))
where rf(m[d] @ (t-offset)) is cached query result, which was calculated previously
The offset may be in the range of up to 1 hour.
The SECURITY label should be applied only to changes, which fix security issues.
The change at ad839aa492 adds new command-line flags, which can be used
for improving security in some cases. They do not fix any security issues.

- 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.
