vmalert: add experimental feature of storing Rule's evaluation state
The new feature keeps last 20 state changes of each Rule
in memory. The state are available for view on the Rule's
view page. The page can be opened by clicking on `Details`
link next to Rule's name on the `/groups` page.
States change suppose to help in investigating cases when Rule
doesn't generate alerts or records.

* vmalert: deprecate alert's status link
Deprecate alert's status link `/api/v1/<groupID>/<alertID>/status` in favour of
`api/v1/alerts?group_id=<group_id>&alert_id=<alert_id>"`.
The change was needed for simplifying logic in vmselect for proxying vmalert's requests.
The old alert's status link will be still supported for a few versions but will be removed in the future.

* make all links in vmalert relative, so links continue to work even if vmalert sits behind the proxy;
* update vmalert's routing to always have component-unique path prefix, e.g. /vmalert;

Unexpectedly, Grafana makes an extra request to `/rules`
handler in addition to `/api/v1/rules` calls in alerts UI.
This happens only for Grafana versions older than 8.5.*.
Apparently, this is related to support of other monitoring
systems.
Prometheus responds with `text/html` content for UI page `/rules`
to such requests. Actually, returning just a blank page with
SC=200 works as well.
Returning actual response of `/api/v1/rules`
results in error in Grafana since it expects a `yaml` (?) in response.
So we add a placeholder to `vmalert`.

* vmalert: add support for `sortByLabel` template function
* vmalert: update API according to Prometheus conformance program
The changes to the API, field names and URL path has been made
according to the Prometheus specification for `alert_generator`
https://github.com/prometheus/compliance/blob/main/alert_generator/specification.md
* vmalert: fix the timestamp of the evaluated rules
The timestamp used for alert's `EndsAt` was calculated
before sending the notification. While the correct way
is to use the timestamp taken right before rules evaluation.
* vmalert: add `-datasource.queryTimeAlignment` flag
The flag is supposed to provide ability to disable `time`
param alignment when executing rules. By default, this flag
is enabled, so it remains backward compatible.
The flag was introduced to achieve better compatibility
with Prometheus behaviour according to https://github.com/prometheus/compliance/blob/main/alert_generator/specification.md

vmalert: support configuration file for notifiers
* vmalert notifiers now can be configured via file
see https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html#notifier-configuration-file
* add support of Consul service discovery for notifiers config
see https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1947
* add UI section for currently loaded/discovered notifiers
* deprecate `-rule.configCheckInterval` in favour of `-configCheckInterval`
* add ability to suppress logs for duplicated targets for notifiers discovery
* change behaviour of `vmalert_alerts_send_errors_total` - it now accounts
for failed alerts, not HTTP calls.
The extra `/` may cause issues when additional path prefixes
are configured. Also, removing it makes it consistent
with the rest of declarations.

New UI pages:
/ - welcome page with API handlers list;
/groups - list of all rules per group;
/alerts - list of all active alerts;
/groupID/alertID/status - status of the active alert;
* vmalert: Add recording rules support.
Recording rules support required additional service refactoring since
it wasn't planned to support them from the very beginning. The list
of changes is following:
* new entity RecordingRule was added for writing results of MetricsQL
expressions into remote storage;
* interface Rule now unites both recording and alerting rules;
* configuration parser was moved to separate package and now performs
more strict validation;
* new endpoint for listing all groups and rules in json format was added;
* evaluation interval may be set to every particular group;
* vmalert: uncomment tests
* vmalert: rm outdated TODO
* vmalert: fix typos in README
The change introduces new entity `manager` which replaces
`watchdog`, decouples requestHandler and groups. Manager
supposed to control life cycle of groups, rules and
config reloads.
Groups export an ID method which returns a hash
from filename and group name. ID supposed to be unique
identifier across all loaded groups.
Some tests were added to improve coverage.
Bug with wrong annotation value if $value is used in
templates after metrics being restored fixed.
Notifier interface was extended to accept context.
New set of metrics was introduced for config reload.
* app/vmalert: restore alerts state from datasource metrics
Vmalert will restore alerts state for rules that have `rule.For` > 0 from previously written timeseries via `remotewrite.url` flag.
* app/vmalert: mention remotewerite and remoteread configuration in README
