* app/vmstorage: update graceful shutdown logic
- close connections from vminsert in determenistic order
- update flag description
- lower default timeout to 25 seconds. 25 seconds value was chosen because the lowest default value used in default configuration deployments is 30s(default value in Kubernetes and ansible-playbooks).

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,
while falsely advertizing it sends zstd-compressed data.
7. The remote storage receives Snappy-compressed data and fails unpacking it with zstd.
The solution is to just fall back to Snappy decompression if zstd decompression fails.

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.
While at it, allows http/2.0 requests to backends. While VictoriaMetrics components
do not accept http/2.0 requests, other backends can require such requests.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5240
- Re-use identically configured http.Transport across multiple users.
This fixes handling of the limit on the number of connection, which can be established per each backend
via -maxIdleConnsPerBackend command-line flag. This limit stopped working after 323f3720ed
- Add docs about backend TLS setup at https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmauth.html#backend-tls-setup
- Add ability to disable backend TLS verification for all the users via -backend.tlsInsecureSkipVerify command-line flag.
This flag may be useful when -auth.config contains big number of users, and every user must disable backend TLS verification.
- Add ability to specify TLS Root CA via tls_ca_file option at per-user basis and via -backend.tlsCAFile command-line flag
across all the users.

Previously entries which were accessed only 1 time weren't cached.
It has been appeared that some rarely executed heavy queries may read indexdb block twice
in a row instead of once. There is no need in caching such a block then.
This change should eliminate cache size spikes for indexdb/dataBlocks when such heavy queries are executed.
Expose -blockcache.missesBeforeCaching command-line flag, which can be used for fine-tuning
the number of cache misses needed before storing the block in the caching.
* app/vmalert: update remote-write process
* automatically retry remote-write requests on closed connections. The change should reduce the amount of logs produced in environments with short-living connections or environments without support of keep-alive on network balancers.
* increment `vmalert_remotewrite_errors_total` metric if all retries to send remote-write request failed. Before, this metric was incremented only if remote-write client's buffer is overloaded.
* increment `vmalert_remotewrite_dropped_rows_total` amd `vmalert_remotewrite_dropped_bytes_total` metrics if remote-write client's buffer is overloaded. Before, these metrics were incremented only after unsuccessful HTTP calls.

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.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/5111
The new metric gets increased each time `-search.logQueryMemoryUsage` memory limit
is exceeded by a query. This metric should help to identify expensive and heavy queries
without inspecting the logs.

Previously url watchers for pod, service and node objects could be mistakenly closed
when service discovery was set up only for endpoints and endpointslice roles,
since watchers for these roles may start start pod, service and node url watchers
with nil apiWatcher passed to groupWatcher.startWatchersForRole().
Now all the url watchers, which belong to a particular groupWatcher, are stopped at once
when this groupWatcher has no apiWatcher subscribers.

The issue has been introduced in v1.93.5 when addressing https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4850
* do not print redundant error logs when failed to scrape consul or nomad target
prometheus performs the same because it uses consul lib which just drops the error(1806bcb38c/api/api.go (L1134))
- 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.

Descriptions were updated in attempt to make it more clear for readers,
re-phrasing and linking missing docs.
`eval_delay` was added to tests to verify it can be unmarshalled.
`eval_delay` is now applied before timestamp alignment to make it more predictable.
Before, if delay < interval the timestamp won't be aligned.
`eval_delay` and `eval_offset` was added to API output.
`PreviouslySentSeriesToRW` converted to private `previouslySentSeriesToRW`.
