Matt T. Proud 161c8fbf9b Include deletion processor for long-tail values.
This commit extracts the model.Values truncation behavior into the actual
tiered storage, which uses it and behaves in a peculiar way—notably the
retention of previous elements if the chunk were to ever go empty.  This is
done to enable interpolation between sparse sample values in the evaluation
cycle.  Nothing necessarily new here—just an extraction.

Now, the model.Values TruncateBefore functionality would do what a user
would expect without any surprises, which is required for the
DeletionProcessor, which may decide to split a large chunk in two if it
determines that the chunk contains the cut-off time.

Matt T. Proud 38d839d810 Include generated Protocol Buffers artifacts.
This commit reduces the general compile time dependencies to omit
the Protocol Buffer compiler and the Go Protocol Buffer generator
tool.  The build steps to furnish them still remain, but they can
optionally be called if data.proto or config.proto are under work.

Matt T. Proud 3b9b1c6ab4 Define dependencies for web. stack concretely.
This commit destroys the use of AppState, which makes passing
concrete state along to various serving components onerous.

Matt T. Proud b3e34c6658 Implement batch database sample curator.
This commit introduces to Prometheus a batch database sample curator,
which corroborates the high watermarks for sample series against the
curation watermark table to see whether a curator of a given type
needs to be run.

The curator is an abstract executor, which runs various curation
strategies across the database.  It remarks the progress for each
type of curation processor that runs for a given sample series.

A curation procesor is responsible for effectuating the underlying
batch changes that are request.  In this commit, we introduce the
CompactionProcessor, which takes several bits of runtime metadata and
combine sparse sample entries in the database together to form larger
groups.  For instance, for a given series it would be possible to
have the curator effectuate the following grouping:

- Samples Older than Two Weeks: Grouped into Bunches of 10000
- Samples Older than One Week: Grouped into Bunches of 1000
- Samples Older than One Day: Grouped into Bunches of 100
- Samples Older than One Hour: Grouped into Bunches of 10

The benefits hereof of such a compaction are 1. a smaller search
space in the database keyspace, 2. better employment of compression
for repetious values, and 3. reduced seek times.

Matt T. Proud 9e02c2393a Include generated Protocol Buffer descriptor.
The Protocol Buffer compiler supports generating a machine-readable
descriptor file encoded as a provided Protocol Buffer message type,
which can be used to decode messages that have been encoded with it
after-the-fact.  The generated descriptor also bundles in dependent
message types.

We can use this to perform forensics on old Prometheus clients, if
necessary.

Matt T. Proud 32c0a939b0 New self-sustaining, hermetic build system.
This should help us produce self-contained artifacts for users as
well as lower the hurdles for first-time contributors.

Matt T. Proud 3e97a3630d Include nascent curator scaffolding.
The curator doesn't do anything yet; rather, this is the type
definition including the anciliary testing scaffold.

Improve Makefile and Git developer experience.

The top-level Makefile was a bit overloaded in terms of generation of
assets and their management.  This has been offloaded into separate
Makefiles.

The Git developer experience sucked due to lack of .gitignore
policies.

Also: Fix faulty skiplist naming from old merge.
