* docs: make `httpAuth.*` flags description less ambiguous
Currently, it may confuse users whether `httpAuth.*` flags are used by HTTP client or server configuration(see https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4586 for example).

* vmselect: introduce `search.skipSlowReplicas` cmd-line flag
vmselect has two logical conditions during request processing when
`-replicationFactor` cmd-line flag is set:
1. If at least `len(storageNodes) - replicationFactor` responded, it could skip
waiting for the rest of nodes to respond. This could lead to problems described
here https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1207.
2. Mark response as partial if less than `len(storageNodes) - replicationFactor` responded
without an error.
The P1 showed itself error-prone and became the main reason why
`-replicationFactor` wasn't recommended to use at vmselect level.
However, this optimization could be still very useful in situations
when there are slow and fast replicas in cluster.
But P2 remains viable and important conditionless.
Hiding P1 behind the feature-flag `search.skipSlowReplicas`
should make `-replicationFactor` flag usable again. And let users
choose whether they want P1 to be respected.

vmalert: allow disabling of `step` param attached to instant queries
This might be useful for using vmalert with datasources that to not support this param,
unlike VictoriaMetrics.

By default, vmalert will make multiple retry attempts with exponential delay.
The total time spent during retry attempts shouldn't exceed `-remoteWrite.retryMaxTime` (default is 30s).
When retry time is exceeded vmalert drops the data dedicated for `-remoteWrite.url`.
Before, vmalert dropped data after 5 retry attempts with 1s delay between attempts (not configurable).
See `-remoteWrite.retryMinInterval` and `-remoteWrite.retryMaxTime` cmd-line flags.

app/vmalert: detect alerting rules which don't match any series at all
vmalert starts to understand /query responses which contain object:
```
"stats":{"seriesFetched": "42"}
```
If object is present, vmalert parses it and populates a new field
`SeriesFetched`. This field is then used to populate the new metric
`vmalert_alerting_rules_last_evaluation_series_fetched` and to
display warnings in the vmalert's UI.
If response doesn't contain the new object (Prometheus or
VictoriaMetrics earlier than v1.90), then `SeriesFetched=nil`.
In this case, UI will contain no additional warnings.
And `vmalert_alerting_rules_last_evaluation_series_fetched` will
be set to `-1`. Negative value of the metric will help to compile
correct alerting rule in follow-up.
Thanks for the initial implementation to @Haleygo

* lib/httpserver: introduce `-http.maxConcurrentRequests` command-line flag
Introduce `-http.maxConcurrentRequests` command-line flag to protect
VM components from resource exhaustion during unexpected spikes of HTTP requests.
By default, the new flag's value is set to 0 which means no limits are applied.

- Document the change at docs/CHANGELOG.md
- Add `Reading rules from object storage` section to docs/vmalert.md
- Add `s3` prefix to command-line flags related to the configuration of s3 and gcs clients
- Explicitly mention that reading rules from object storage is supported only in enterprise version
Stress the importance of specifying of all Alertmanager
URLs in vmalert's `-notifier.url` or `notifier.config`
if it runs in cluster mode.

Previously the `quotesEscape` function was escaping only double quotes.
This wasn't enough, since the input string could contain other special chars,
which must be escaped when put inside JSON string. For example, carriage return and line feed chars (\n\r),
backslash char, etc. This led to the following issues, which were improperly fixed:
- https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/890 - this issue
was "fixed" by introducing the `crlfEscape` function, which led to unnecessary
complications in user templates, while not fixing various corner cases
such as backslash chars in the input string.
See 1de15ad490
- https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3139 - this issue
was "fixed" by urlencoding the whole string passed to -external.alert.source
command-line flag. This led to invalid urls, which couldn't be parsed by Grafana.
See 00c838353d
and 4bd0244599
This commit properly encodes the input string passed to `quotesEscape`, so it can be safely embedded inside JSON strings.
This commit deprecates crlfEscape template function and adds the following new template functions:
- strvalue and stripDomain - these functions are supported by Prometheus, so they were added
for compatibility purposes.
- jsonEscape and htmlEscape for converting the input string to valid quoted JSON string
and for html-escaping the input string, so it could be safely embedded as a plaintext
into html.
This commit also documents all supported template functions at https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html#template-functions
The deprecated crlfEscape function isn't documented on purpose, since its usefulness is negative in general case.
This reverts commit 00c838353d.
Reason for revert: it incorrectly fixes the issue https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3139 .
Now `-external.alert.source=explore?orgId=1&left=...` is converted to the following invalid url, which cannot be handled by Grafana:
https://grafana.example.com/explore%3ForgId%3D1%26left%3D...
The next commit will contain the correct fix of the issue - the `quotesEscape` function must
properly escape the string, so it could be embedded into JSON string. This function must
properly escape \n\r chars too. In this case the `crlfEscape` function becomes unnecessary.
Actually, the next commit makes the `crlfEscape` function deprecated.
The default value of `-datasource.queryStep` has changed, so we update
the troubleshooting docs accordingly.
