Implement histogram statistics decoder
This commit speeds up histogram_count and histogram_sum
functions on native histograms. The idea is to have separate decoders which can be
used by the engine to only read count/sum values from histogram objects. This should help
with reducing allocations when decoding histograms, as well as with speeding up aggregations
like sum since they will be done on floats and not on histogram objects.

The function `rangeEvalTimestampFunctionOverVectorSelector` appeared to be checking histogram size, however the value it used was always 0 due to subtle variable shadowing.
However we don't need to pass sample values to the `timestamp` function, since the latter only cares about timestamps. This also affects peak sample count in statistics, since we are no longer copying histogram samples.

The check fell into "this matcher equals vector selector's name" case when vector selector doesn't have a name and the matcher is an explicit matcher for an empty __name__ label.
To provide some context about why this is important: some downstream projects use the promql.Parse(expr.String()) to clone an expression's AST, and with this bug that matcher disappears in the cloning.

This is a bit tough to explain, but I'll try:
`rate` & friends have a sophisticated extrapolation algorithm.
Usually, we extrapolate the result to the total interval specified in
the range selector. However, if the first sample within the range is
too far away from the beginning of the interval, or if the last sample
within the range is too far away from the end of the interval, we
assume the series has just started half a sampling interval before the
first sample or after the last sample, respectively, and shorten the
extrapolation interval correspondingly. We calculate the sampling
interval by looking at the average time between samples within the
range, and we define "too far away" as "more than 110% of that
sampling interval".
However, if this algorithm leads to an extrapolated starting value
that is negative, we limit the start of the extrapolation interval to
the point where the extrapolated starting value is zero.
At least that was the intention.
What we actually implemented is the following: If extrapolating all
the way to the beginning of the total interval would lead to an
extrapolated negative value, we would only extrapolate to the zero
point as above, even if the algorithm above would have selected a
starting point that is just half a sampling interval before the first
sample and that starting point would not have an extrapolated negative
value. In other word: What was meant as a _limitation_ of the
extrapolation interval yielded a _longer_ extrapolation interval in
this case.
There is an exception to the case just described: If the increase of
the extrapolation interval is more than 110% of the sampling interval,
we suddenly drop back to only extrapolate to half a sampling interval.
This behavior can be nicely seen in the testcounter_zero_cutoff test,
where the rate goes up all the way to 0.7 and then jumps back to 0.6.
This commit changes the behavior to what was (presumably) intended
from the beginning: The extension of the extrapolation interval is
only limited if actually needed to prevent extrapolation to negative
values, but the "limitation" never leads to _more_ extrapolation
anymore.
The difference is subtle, and probably it never bothered anyone.
However, if you calculate a rate of a classic histograms, the old
behavior might create non-monotonic histograms as a result (because of
the jumps you can see nicely in the old version of the
testcounter_zero_cutoff test). With this fix, that doesn't happen
anymore.

If a range vector is fixen in time with the @ modifier, it gets still
moved around for different steps in a range query. Since no additional

the range, leading to the weird behavior described in isse #11708.

which is the reason why we see it only for this particular function.

Optimize histogram iterators
Histogram iterators allocate new objects in the AtHistogram and
AtFloatHistogram methods, which makes calculating rates over long
ranges expensive.
In #13215 we allowed an existing object to be reused
when converting an integer histogram to a float histogram. This commit follows
the same idea and allows injecting an existing object in the AtHistogram and
AtFloatHistogram methods. When the injected value is nil, iterators allocate
new histograms, otherwise they populate and return the injected object.
The commit also adds a CopyTo method to Histogram and FloatHistogram which
is used in the BufferedIterator to overwrite items in the ring instead of making
new copies.
Note that a specialized HPoint pool is needed for all of this to work
(`matrixSelectorHPool`).

In https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/pull/13276 we started reusing float histogram objects to reduce allocations in PromQL.
That PR introduces a bug where histogram pointers gets copied to the beginning of the histograms slice,
but are still kept in the end of the slice. When a new histogram is read into the last element,
it can overwrite a previous element because the pointer is the same.
This commit fixes the issue by moving outdated points to the end of the slice
so that we don't end up with duplicate pointers in the same buffer. In other words,
the slice gets rotated so that old objects can get reused.

Return annotations (warnings and infos) from PromQL queries
This generalizes the warnings we have already used before (but only for problems with remote read) as "annotations".
Annotations can be warnings or infos (the latter could be false positives). We do not treat them different in the API for now and return them all as "warnings". It would be easy to distinguish them and return infos separately, should that appear useful in the future.
The new annotations are then used to create a lot of warnings or infos during PromQL evaluations. Partially these are things we have wanted for a long time (e.g. inform the user that they have applied `rate` to a metric that doesn't look like a counter), but the new native histograms have created even more needs for those annotations (e.g. if a query tries to aggregate float numbers with histograms).
The annotations added here are not yet complete. A prominent example would be a warning about a range too short for a rate calculation. But such a warnings is more tricky to create with good fidelity and we will tackle it later.
Another TODO is to take annotations into account when evaluating recording rules.

So far, `ValidateHistogram` would not detect if the count did not
include the count in the zero bucket. This commit fixes the problem
and updates all the tests that have been undetected offenders so far.
Note that this problem would only ever create false negatives, so we
never falsely rejected to store a histogram because of it.
On the other hand, `ValidateFloatHistogram` has been to strict with
the count being at least as large as the sum of the counts in all the
buckets. Float precision issues could create false positives here, see
products of PromQL evaluations, it's actually quite hard to put an
upper limit no the floating point imprecision. Users could produce the
weirdest expressions, maxing out float precision problems. Therefore,
this commit simply removes that particular check from
`ValidateFloatHistogram`.
