* promql: add test for race conditions in query engine

Note we skip large count_values queries -
`count_values` allocates a slice per unique value in the output, and
this test has unique values on every step of every series so it adds up
to a lot of slices. Add Go runtime overhead for checking `-race`, and
it chews up many gigabytes.

* TestConcurrentRangeQueries: wait before starting goroutine

Instead of starting 100 goroutines which just wait for the semaphore.
