This speeds up auto-suggestion for metric names in VMUI and Grafana, which use the following query in this case:

- Automatically reload changed TLS root CA pointed by -remoteWrite.tlsCAFile command-line flag
- Automatically reload changed TLS root CA configured via oauth2.tsl_config.ca_file option at -promscrape.config
- Document the change as a feature instead of a bug at docs/CHANGELOG.md
- Simplify the code at lib/promauth, which is responsible for reloading changed TLS root CA files.
- Simplify the usage of lib/promauth.Config.NewRoundTripper() - now it accepts the base http.Transport
instead of a callback, which can change the internal http.Transport.
- Reuse the default tls config if lib/promauth.Config doesn't contain tls-specific configs.
This should reduce memory usage a bit when tls isn't used for scraping big number of targets.
- Do not re-read TLS root CA files on every processed request. Re-read them once per second.
This should reduce CPU usage when scraping big number of targets over https.

* lib/{promauth,promscrape}: automatically refresh root CA certificates after changes on disk
Added a custom `http.RoundTripper` implementation which checks for root CA content changes and updates `tls.Config` used by `http.RoundTripper` after detecting CA change.
Client certificate changes are not tracked by this implementation since `tls.Config` already supports passing certificate dynamically by overriding `tls.Config.GetClientCertificate`.
This change implements dynamic reload of root CA only for streaming client used for scraping. Blocking client (`fasthttp.HostClient`) does not support using custom transport so can't use this implementation.

This reverts commit cb23685681.
Reason for revert: the "fix" may hide programming bugs related to incorrect creation of folders
before their use. This may complicate detecting and fixing such bugs in the future.
There are the following fixes for the issue https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5985 :
- To configure the OS to do not drop data from the system-wide temporary directory (aka /tmp).
- To run VictoriaMetrics with -cacheDataPath command-line flag, which points to the directory,
which cannot be removed automatically by the OS.
The case when the user accidentally deletes the directory with some files created by VictoriaMetrics
shouldn't be considered as expected, so VictoriaMetrics shouldn't try resolving this case automatically.
It is much better from operation and debuggability PoV is to crash with the clear `directory doesn't exist` error
in this case.
The remotewrite.Stop() expects that there are no pending calls to TryPush().
This means that the ingestionRateLimiter.Register() must be unblocked inside TryPush() when calling remotewrite.Stop().
Provide remotewrite.StopIngestionRateLimiter() function for unblocking the rate limiter before calling the remotewrite.Stop().
While at it, move the rate limiter into lib/ratelimiter package, since it has two users.
Also move the description of the feature to the correct place at docs/CHANGELOG.md.
Also cross-reference -remoteWrite.rateLimit and -maxIngestionRate command-line flags.

vmselect uses a cache folder in file system for two purposes:
1. Storing rollup cache results on shutdown;
2. Storing temporary search results from vmstorage during query executions.
It could happen that cache folder is deleted accidentally by user, or by OS
during cleanup routines. This would cause vmselect to:
1. panic on /metrics call, because `MustGetFreeSpace` will fail;
2. return query error user, as it won't be able to store temporary search results.
The changes in this commit are the following:
1. Make `MustGetFreeSpace` to try re-creating the cache folder if it is missing;
2. Make vmselect to try re-creating the cache folder if it can't persist tmp search

This reverts commit eb40395a1c.
Reason for revert: it has been appeared that the performance gain on multiple CPU cores

See a207e0bf687d65f5198207477248d70c69284296
Previously samples were dropped on the first incomplete interval and the next complete interval.
Also make sure that the de-duplication is performed just before flushing the aggregate state.
This should help the case then dedup_interval = interval.
For example, if `interval: 1m`, then data flush occurs at the end of every minute,
while `interval: 1h` leads to data flush at the end of every hour.
Add `no_align_flush_to_interval` option, which can be used for disabling the alignment.
The labelsMap struct employs the fact that label indexes are condensed around 0,
so it stores the referred labels in a slice instead of map and uses slice index as label key.
This allows increasing the LabelsCompressor.Decompress performance by up to 3x.
This also reduces the latency of data flush in stream aggregation.
- Reduce memory usage by up to 5x when de-duplicating samples across big number of time series.
- Reduce memory usage by up to 5x when aggregating across big number of output time series.
- Add lib/promutils.LabelsCompressor, which is going to be used by other VictoriaMetrics components
for reducing memory usage for marshaled []prompbmarshal.Label.
- Add `dedup_interval` option at aggregation config, which allows setting individual
deduplication intervals per each aggregation.
- Add `keep_metric_names` option at aggregation config, which allows keeping the original
metric names in the output samples.
- Add `unique_samples` output, which counts the number of unique sample values.
- Add `increase_prometheus` and `total_prometheus` outputs, which ignore the first sample
per each newly encountered time series.
- Use 64-bit hashes instead of marshaled labels as map keys when calculating `count_series` output.
This makes obsolete https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/5579
- Expose various metrics, which may help debugging stream aggregation:
- vm_streamaggr_dedup_state_size_bytes - the size of data structures responsible for deduplication
- vm_streamaggr_dedup_state_items_count - the number of items in the deduplication data structures
- vm_streamaggr_labels_compressor_size_bytes - the size of labels compressor data structures
- vm_streamaggr_labels_compressor_items_count - the number of entries in the labels compressor
- vm_streamaggr_flush_duration_seconds - a histogram, which shows the duration of stream aggregation flushes
- vm_streamaggr_dedup_flush_duration_seconds - a histogram, which shows the duration of deduplication flushes
- vm_streamaggr_flush_timeouts_total - counter for timed out stream aggregation flushes,
which took longer than the configured interval
- vm_streamaggr_dedup_flush_timeouts_total - counter for timed out deduplication flushes,
which took longer than the configured dedup_interval
- Actualize docs/stream-aggregation.md

This solves two issues:

2. This prevents from int overflow at metrics.Counter.Add() when uploading files bigger than 2GiB

The issue has been introduced in bace9a2501
The improper fix was in the d4c0615dcd ,
since it fixed the issue just by an accident, because Go comiler aligned the rawRowsShards field
by 4-byte boundary inside partition struct.

Previously the interval between item addition and its conversion to searchable in-memory part
could vary significantly because of too coarse per-second precision. Switch from fasttime.UnixTimestamp()
to time.Now().UnixMilli() for millisecond precision. It is OK to use time.Now() for tracking
the time when buffered items must be converted to searchable in-memory parts, since time.Now()
calls aren't located in hot paths.
Increase the flush interval for converting buffered samples to searchable in-memory parts
from one second to two seconds. This should reduce the number of blocks, which are needed
to be processed during high-frequency alerting queries. This, in turn, should reduce CPU usage.
While at it, hardcode the maximum size of rawRows shard to 8Mb, since this size gives the optimal
data ingestion pefromance according to load tests. This reduces memory usage and CPU usage on systems
with big amounts of RAM under high data ingestion rate.
The pooled rawRowsBlock objects occupies big amounts of memory between flushes,
and the flushes are relatively rare. So it is better to don't use the pool
and to allocate rawRow blocks on demand. This should reduce the average
memory usage between flushes.
The buffer can be quite big under high ingestion rate (e.g. more than 100MB).
This leads to increased memory usage between buffer flushes.
So it is better to re-create the buffer on every flush in order to reduce memory usage
between buffer flushes.

Instead, log a sample of these long items once per 5 seconds into error log,
so users could notice and fix the issue with too long labels or too many labels.
Previously this panic could occur in production when ingesting samples with too long labels.
The 3c246cdf00 added an optimization where the previous metaindexRow
could be saved to disk when the current block header couldn't be added indexBlock because the resulting
indexBlock size became too big. This could result in an empty metaindexRow.firstItem for the next metaindexRow.

There is no sense in storing commonPrefix for blockHeader containing only a single item,
since this only increases blockHeader size without any benefits.
This panic could occur when samples with too long label values are ingested into VictoriaMetrics.
This could result in too long fistItem and commonPrefix values at blockHeader (up to 64kb each).
This may inflate the maximum index block size by 4 * maxIndexBlockSize.
For example, -fooDuration=',10s,' is now supported - it sets three command-line flag values:
- the first and the last one are set to the default value for `-fooDuration`
- the second one is set to 10s
This should significantly reduce the number of open ReaderAt files
on VictoriaMetrics and VictoriaLogs startup.
The open files can be tracked via vm_fs_readers metric
GOGC can be already set via environment variable. There is no need in adding
new approaches for setting the GOGC (such as command-line flag), since they complicate operations.

Entries for the previous dates is usually not used, so there is little sense in keeping them in memory.
This should reduce the size of storage/date_metricID cache, which can be monitored
via vm_cache_entries{type="storage/date_metricID"} metric.
This limit has little sense for these APIs, since:
- Thses APIs frequently result in scanning of all the time series on the given time range.
For example, if extra_filters={datacenter="some_dc"} .
- Users expect these APIs shouldn't hit the -search.maxUniqueTimeseries limit,
which is intended for limiting resource usage at /api/v1/query and /api/v1/query_range requests.
Also limit the concurrency for /api/v1/labels, /api/v1/label/.../values
and /api/v1/series requests in order to limit the maximum memory usage and CPU usage for these API.
This limit shouldn't affect typical use cases for these APIs:
- Grafana dashboard load when dashboard labels should be loaded
- Auto-suggestion list load when editing the query in Grafana or vmui

- 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.

While at it, add Count suffix to *AssistedMerges counter names in order to make them less misleading.
Previously their names were falsely suggesting that these are gauges, which show the number of concurrently
executed assisted merges.
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%.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5190
This allows reducing the indexdb/tagFiltersToMetricIDs cache size by 8 on average.
The cache size can be checked via vm_cache_size_bytes{type="indexdb/tagFiltersToMetricIDs"} metric exposed at /metrics page.
Measuring read / write duration from / to in-memory buffers has little sense,
since it will be always fast. It is better to measure read / write duration from / to
real files at vm_filestream_write_duration_seconds_total and vm_filestream_read_duration_seconds_total metrics.
This also reduces overhead on time.Now() and Histogram.UpdateDuration() calls
per each filestream.Reader.Read() and filestream.Writer.Write() call when the data is read / written from / to in-memory buffers.
This is a follow-up for 2f63dec2e3
* lib/promscrape: respect `0` value for `series_limit` param
Respect `0` value for `series_limit` param in `scrape_config`
even if global limit was set via `-promscrape.seriesLimitPerTarget`.
Previously, `0` value will be ignored in favor of `-promscrape.seriesLimitPerTarget`.
This behavior aligns with possibility to override `series_limit` value via
relabeling with `__series_limit__` label.

This should smooth CPU and RAM usage spikes related to these periodic tasks,
by reducing the probability that multiple concurrent periodic tasks are performed at the same time.
The dateMetricIDCache puts recently registered (date, metricID) entries into mutable cache protected by the mutex.
The dateMetricIDCache.Has() checks for the entry in the mutable cache when it isn't found in the immutable cache.
Access to the mutable cache is protected by the mutex. This means this access is slow on systems with many CPU cores.
The mutabe cache was merged into immutable cache every 10 seconds in order to avoid slow access to mutable cache.
This means that ingestion of new time series to VictoriaMetrics could result in significant slowdown for up to 10 seconds
because of bottleneck at the mutex.
Fix this by merging the mutable cache into immutable cache after len(cacheItems) / 2
cache hits under the mutex, e.g. when the entry is found in the mutable cache.
This should automatically adjust intervals between merges depending on the addition rate
for new time series (aka churn rate):
- The interval will be much smaller than 10 seconds under high churn rate.
This should reduce the mutex contention for mutable cache.
- The interval will be bigger than 10 seconds under low churn rate.
This should reduce the uneeded work on merging of mutable cache into immutable cache.
* lib/promscrape/discovery/kubernetes: fix watcher start order for roles endpoints and endpointslice
Previously the groupWatcher could be mistakenly stopped when requests for pod or services resources take too long.

* lib/promscrape/kubernetes: prevent from stopping groupWatcher when there are in-flight apiWatcher.mustStart() calls
groupWatcher is stopped if it has zero registered apiWatchers during 14 seconds.
But such a groupWatcher can be still in use if apiWatcher for `role: endpoints` or `role: endpointslice`
is being registered and the discovery of the associated `pod` and/or `service` objects takes longer
than 14 seconds - see the beginning of groupWatcher.startWatchersForRole() function for details.
Track the number of in-flight calls to apiWatcher.mustStart() and prevent from stopping the associated groupWatcher
if the number of in-flight calls is non-zero.
P.S. postponing the discovery of `pod` and/or `service` objects associated with `endpoints` or `endpointslice` roles
isn't the best solution, since it slows down initial discovery of `endpoints` and `endpointslice` targets.

Examples:
1) -metricsAuthKey=file:///abs/path/to/file - reads flag value from the given absolute filepath
2) -metricsAuthKey=file://./relative/path/to/file - reads flag value from the given relative filepath
3) -metricsAuthKey=http://some-host/some/path?query_arg=abc - reads flag value from the given url
The flag value is automatically updated when the file contents changes.
- docs/sd_configs.md: moved hetzner_sd_configs docs to the correct place according to alphabetical order of SD names,
document missing __meta_hetzner_role label.
- lib/promscrape/config.go: added missing MustStop() call for Hetzner SD,
and moved the code to the correct place according to alphabetical order of SD names.
- lib/promscrape/discovery/hetzner: properly handle pagination for hloud API responses,
populate missing __meta_hetzner_role label like Prometheus does.
- Properly populate __meta_hetzner_public_ipv6_network label like Prometheus does.
- Remove unused SDConfig.Token.
- Remove "omitempty" annotation from SDConfig.Role field, since this field is mandatory.

- Clarify the bugfix description at docs/CHANGELOG.md
- Simplify the code by accessing prefetchedMetricIDs struct under the lock
instead of using lockless access to immutable struct.
This shouldn't worsen code scalability too much on busy systems with many CPU cores,
since the code executed under the lock is quite small and fast.
This allows removing cloning of prefetchedMetricIDs struct every time
new metric names are pre-fetched. This should reduce load on Go GC,
since the cloning of uin64set.Set struct allocates many new objects.
Before, this cache was limited only by size.
Cache invalidation by time happens with jitter to prevent thundering herd problem.

Some clients may ingest samples via OpenTelemetry protocol without Resource labels.
Previously VictoriaMetrics was silently dropping such samples.
The commit 317834f876 added vm_protoparser_rows_dropped_total{type="opentelemetry",reason="resource_not_set"}
counter for tracking of such dropped samples. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/5459
It is better from usability PoV to accept such samples instead of dropping them and incrementing the corresponding counter.
Currently, it is impossible to understand why metrics are not ingested when resource is not set by OTEL exporter. Adding metric should simplify debugging and make it improve debuggability.
