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.
This allows removing importing unneeded command-line flags into binaries, which import lib/storage,
which, in turn, was importing lib/snapshot in order to use Time, Validate and NewName functions.

Closing client connections every 2 minutes doesn't help load balancing -
this just leads to "jumpy" connections between multiple backend servers,
e.g. the load isn't spread evenly among backend servers, and instead jumps
between the servers every 2 minutes.
It is still possible periodically closing client connections by specifying non-zero -http.connTimeout command-line flag.
This should help with https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1304#issuecomment-1636997037

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.
* add more details to changelog
* simplify panels description
* remove capacity planning recommendation, as it proves it incompetent

During background downsampling, rate(vm_deduplicated_samples_total{type="merge"}) could be much bigger than
rate(vm_rows_added_to_storage_total) and it could last quite some time,
which causes negative values of Storage full ETA and confuses users, see playground.
Instead of trying to get more accurate results during downsampling, I think it's ok to ignore
vm_deduplicated_samples_total at all, it's more reasonable to see Storage full ETA increase after downsampling.

changes(), increases_over_time() and resets() shouldn't take into account
value changes, which may occur because of precision errors.
The maximum guaranteed precision for raw samples stored in VictoriaMetrics is 12 decimal digits.
So do not count relative changes for values if they are smaller than 1e-12 comparing to the value.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/767
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
