Previously vmgateway returned error for the requests with multitenant
tenant.
This commit allows to rate limit multitenant requests and apply global
rate limit for it.
Currently it supports only queries for rate limiting.
Related issue: https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/7201
This commit also addresses gateway start-up crash if datasource.url is not accessible.
Previously vmgateway could crash at start-up with enabled rate limiting if datasource for metrics
was not avaiable for any reason. It seems, that crash is expected. But in fact it's not. For instance, datasource could be in restart phase.
Replaces crash with log message error. It increased availability of vmgateway component.

This commit adds `metric_relabel_configs` and `relabel_configs` fields
into the `global` section of scrape configuration file.
New fields are used as global relabeling rules for the scrape targets.
These relabel configs are prepended to the target relabel configs.
This feature is useful to:
* apply global rules to __meta labels from service discovery targets.
* drop noisy labels during scrapping.
* mutate labels without affecting metrics ingested via any of push
protocols.

- add a separate index cache for searches which might read through large
amounts of random entries. Primary use-case for this is retention and
downsampling filters, when applying filters background merge needs to
fetch large amount of random entries which pollutes an index cache.
Using different caches allows to reduce effect on memory usage and cache
efficiency of the main cache while still having high cache hit rate. A
separate cache size is 5% of allowed memory.
- reduce size of indexdb/dataBlocks cache in order to free memory for
new sparse cache. Reduced size by 5% and moved this to a separate cache.
- add a separate metricName search which does not cache metric names -
this is needed in order to allow disabling metric name caching when
applying downsampling/retention filters. Applying filters during
background merge accesses random entries, this fills up cache and does
not provide an actual improvement due to random access nature.

### Describe Your Changes
If a dict flag has only one value without a prefix it is supposed to
replace default value.
Previously, when flag was set to `-flag=2` and the default value in
`NewDictInt` was set to 1 the resulting value for any `flag.Get()` call
would be 1 which is not expected.
This commit updates default value for the flag in case there is only one
entry for flag and the entry is a number without a key.
This affects cluster version and specifically `replicationFactor` flag
usage with vmstorage [node
groups](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/cluster-victoriametrics/#vmstorage-groups-at-vmselect).
Previously, the following configuration would effectively be ignored:
```
/path/to/vmselect \
-replicationFactor=2 \
-storageNode=g1/host1,g1/host2,g1/host3 \
-storageNode=g2/host4,g2/host5,g2/host6 \
-storageNode=g3/host7,g3/host8,g3/host9
```
Changes from this PR will force default value for `replicationFactor`
flag to be set to `2` which is expected as the result of this
configuration.

It has been appeared that VictoriaLogs is frequently used for collecting logs with tens of fields.
For example, standard Kuberntes setup on top of Filebeat generates more than 20 fields per each log.
Such logs are also known as "wide events".
The previous storage format was optimized for logs with a few fields. When at least a single field
was referenced in the query, then the all the meta-information about all the log fields was unpacked
and parsed per each scanned block during the query. This could require a lot of additional disk IO
and CPU time when logs contain many fields. Resolve this issue by providing an (field -> metainfo_offset)
index per each field in every data block. This index allows reading and extracting only the needed
metainfo for fields used in the query. This index is stored in columnsHeaderIndexFilename ( columns_header_index.bin ).
This allows increasing performance for queries over wide events by 10x and more.
Another issue was that the data for bloom filters and field values across all the log fields except of _msg
was intermixed in two files - fieldBloomFilename ( field_bloom.bin ) and fieldValuesFilename ( field_values.bin ).
This could result in huge disk read IO overhead when some small field was referred in the query,
since the Operating System usually reads more data than requested. It reads the data from disk
in at least 4KiB blocks (usually the block size is much bigger in the range 64KiB - 512KiB).
So, if 512-byte bloom filter or values' block is read from the file, then the Operating System
reads up to 512KiB of data from disk, which results in 1000x disk read IO overhead. This overhead isn't visible
for recently accessed data, since this data is usually stored in RAM (aka Operating System page cache),
but this overhead may become very annoying when performing the query over large volumes of data
which isn't present in OS page cache.
The solution for this issue is to split bloom filters and field values across multiple shards.
This reduces the worst-case disk read IO overhead by at least Nx where N is the number of shards,
while the disk read IO overhead is completely removed in best case when the number of columns doesn't exceed N.
Currently the number of shards is 8 - see bloomValuesShardsCount . This solution increases
performance for queries over large volumes of newly ingested data by up to 1000x.
The new storage format is versioned as v1, while the old storage format is version as v0.
It is stored in the partHeader.FormatVersion.
Parts with the old storage format are converted into parts with the new storage format during background merge.
It is possible to force merge by querying /internal/force_merge HTTP endpoint - see https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/#forced-merge .
Previously it was incorrectly used append for pre-allocated slice of labels.
This commit fixes slice append by allocating zero length slice with needed capacity.
