* app/vmalert: fix data race during hot-config reload
During hot-reload, the logic evokes the group update and rules evaluation
interruption simultaneously. Falsely assuming that interruption happens before
the update. However, it could happen that group will be updated first and only
after the rules evaluation will be cancelled. Which will result in permanent
interruption for all rules within the group.
The fix caches the cancel context function into local variable first. And only after
performs the group update. With cached cancel function we can safely call it without
worrying that we cancel the evaluation for already updated group.

- Maintain a separate worker pool per each part type (in-memory, file, big and small).
Previously a shared pool was used for merging all the part types.
A single merge worker could merge parts with mixed types at once. For example,
it could merge simultaneously an in-memory part plus a big file part.
Such a merge could take hours for big file part. During the duration of this merge
the in-memory part was pinned in memory and couldn't be persisted to disk
under the configured -inmemoryDataFlushInterval .
Another common issue, which could happen when parts with mixed types are merged,
is uncontrolled growth of in-memory parts or small parts when all the merge workers
were busy with merging big files. Such growth could lead to significant performance
degradataion for queries, since every query needs to check ever growing list of parts.
This could also slow down the registration of new time series, since VictoriaMetrics
searches for the internal series_id in the indexdb for every new time series.
The third issue is graceful shutdown duration, which could be very long when a background
merge is running on in-memory parts plus big file parts. This merge couldn't be interrupted,
since it merges in-memory parts.
A separate pool of merge workers per every part type elegantly resolves both issues:
- In-memory parts are merged to file-based parts in a timely manner, since the maximum
size of in-memory parts is limited.
- Long-running merges for big parts do not block merges for in-memory parts and small parts.
- Graceful shutdown duration is now limited by the time needed for flushing in-memory parts to files.
Merging for file parts is instantly canceled on graceful shutdown now.
- Deprecate -smallMergeConcurrency command-line flag, since the new background merge algorithm
should automatically self-tune according to the number of available CPU cores.
- Deprecate -finalMergeDelay command-line flag, since it wasn't working correctly.
It is better to run forced merge when needed - https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#forced-merge
- Tune the number of shards for pending rows and items before the data goes to in-memory parts
and becomes visible for search. This improves the maximum data ingestion rate and the maximum rate
for registration of new time series. This should reduce the duration of data ingestion slowdown
in VictoriaMetrics cluster on e.g. re-routing events, when some of vmstorage nodes become temporarily
unavailable.
- Prevent from possible "sync: WaitGroup misuse" panic on graceful shutdown.
This is a follow-up for fa566c68a6 .

This reverts cd4f641d32 , since it has been appeared that the disabled compression
for vmstorage->vmselect data increase network bandwidth usage by more than 10x on typical production workloads,
while it decreases CPU usage at vmstorage by up to 10% and improves query latency by up to 10%.
The 10x increase in network usage is too high price for 10% improvements on query latency and vmstorage CPU usage.
This may result in network bandwidth bottlenecks, which can reduce the overall performance and stability
of VictoriaMetrics cluster. That's why return back the vmstorage->vmselect data compression by default.
The vmstorage->vmselect compression can be disabled by passing -rpc.disableCompression command-line flag to vmstorage.
The vmselect->vmselect compression in multi-level cluster setup can be disabled by passing -clusternative.disableCompression command-line flag.
It has been appeared that the registration of new time series slows down linearly
with the number of indexdb parts, since VictoriaMetrics needs to check every indexdb part
when it searches for TSID by newly ingested metric name.
The number of in-memory parts grows when new time series are registered
at high rate. The number of in-memory parts grows faster on systems with big number
of CPU cores, because the mergeset maintains per-CPU buffers with newly added entries
for the indexdb, and every such entry is transformed eventually into a separate in-memory part.
The solution has been suggested in https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/5212
by @misutoth - to limit the number of in-memory parts with buffered channel.
This solution is implemented in this commit. Additionally, this commit merges per-CPU parts
into a single part before adding it to the list of in-memory parts. This reduces CPU load
when searching for TSID by newly ingested metric name.
The https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/5212 recommends setting the limit on the number
of in-memory parts to 100, but my internal testing shows that much lower limit 15 works with the same efficiency
on a system with 16 CPU cores while reducing memory usage for `indexdb/dataBlocks` cache by up to 50%.

It is likely this value was borrowed from panel `Slow inserts` panel
from Grafana dasbhoard for VM single/cluster installations. This is a mistake.
There is no such thing as "tolerable churn rate", as tolerancy depends on the amount
of allocated resources.
Although, it is unclear what is meant by 5%. If it refers to 5% of new time series per second,
then such churn rate is extremely high. It would mean that the avg life of a time series is 20s.

This shouldn't worsen code scalability too much on busy systems with many CPU cores,

This allows removing cloning of prefetchedMetricIDs struct every time
new metric names are pre-fetched. This should reduce load on Go GC,

* 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.

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.
