The new flag type is supposed to be used for specifying URL values which
could contain sensitive information such as auth tokens in GET params or
HTTP basic authentication.
The URL flag also allows loading its value from files if `file://`
prefix is specified. As example, the new flag type was used in
app/vmbackup as it requires specifying `authKey` param for making the
snapshot.

The cumulative number of active merges could be red herring
as it its value depends on the number of vmstorages.
For example, vmstorage could be added or removed and this will affect
the panel.
Or, each vmstorage could start a merging process (i.e. for downsampling)
and visiually it could look like a massive change.

We don't cover this corner case as it has low chance for reproduction.
Precisely, the requirements are following:
1. vmagent need to be configured with multiple identical `remoteWrite.url` flags;
2. At least one of the persistent queues need to be non-empty, which already
signalizes about issues with setup;
3. vmagent need to be restarted with removing of one of `remoteWrite.url` flags.
We do not document this case in vmagent.md as it seems to be a rare corner case
and its explanation will require too much of explanation and confuse users.

Starting from v1.99.0 vmalert could ignore anchors pointing to specific
rule groups if `search` param was present in URL.
This change makes anchors compatible with `search` param in UI.

Using `sh` or `console` formatting doesn't do word-breaking on render. This makes flags description
harder to read, as users need to scroll the web page horizontally.
Removing the formatting renders the description with normal word-breaking.

Stream aggregation may yield inaccurate results if it processes incomplete data.
This issue can arise when data is sourced from clients that maintain a queue of unsent data, such as Prometheus or vmagent.
If the queue isn't fully cleared within the aggregation interval, only a portion of the time series may be included in that period, leading to distorted calculations.
To mitigate this we add an option to ignore first N aggregation intervals. It is expected, that client queues
will be cleared during the time while aggregation ignores first N intervals and all subsequent aggregations
will be correct.

It is better from visibility PoV if the CONTRIBUTING.md file is visible at https://docs.victoriametrics.com/contributing/ .
This page can be indexed by search engines and searched by our users later.
It is also easier to provide a link to this page now comparing to the old link, which is much harder to remember:
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
While at it, syncrhonize docs/CONTRIBUTING.md with .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/pull_request_template.md ,
so they do not contain duplicate information, which can be outdated over time. Now all the relevant information
is located at docs/CONTRIBUTING.md, while .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/pull_request_template.md refers this doc.

Using plain sync.Pool simplifies the code without increasing memory usage and CPU usage.
So it is better to use plain sync.Pool from readability and maintainability PoV.
This is a follow-up for 8942f290eb
The memory usage for plain sync.Pool doesn't increase comparing to the memory usage for the hybrid scheme,
so it is better to use plain sync.Pool in order to simplify the code and make it more readable and maintainable.
This is a follow-up for c22da2f917
Data ingestion benchmark doesn't show memory usage difference between two approaches,
so let's use simpler approach in order to improve code readability and maintainability.
This is a follow-up for 77c597738c
This scheme was used for reducing memory usage when vmagent runs on a machine with big number of CPU cores
and the ingestion rate isn't too big. The scheme with channel-based pool could reduce memory usage,
since it minimizes the number of PushCtx structs in the pool in this case.
Performance tests didn't reveal significant difference in memory usage under both low and high ingestion rate
between plain sync.Pool and the current hybrid scheme, so replace the scheme with plain sync.Pool in order
to simplify the code.
