The `info` function is an experiment to improve UX
around including labels from info metrics.
`info` has to be enabled via the feature flag `--enable-feature=promql-experimental-functions`.
This MVP of info simplifies the implementation by assuming:
* Only support for the target_info metric
* That target_info's identifying labels are job and instance
Also:
* Encode info samples' original timestamp as sample value
* Deduce info series select hints from top-most VectorSelector

This PR adds an Experimental flag to the functions.
This can be used by https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/pull/13059
but also xrate and other future functions.

In Thanos we would like to start experimenting with custom functions that are
currently not part of the PromQL spec. We would do this by adding an implementation
for those functions in the Thanos engine: https://github.com/thanos-community/promql-engine and allow
users to decide which engine they want to use on a per-query basis.
Since we use the PromQL parser from Prometheus, injecting functions in the global `Functions` variable
would mean they also become available for the Prometheus engine. To avoid this side-effect, this commit
exposes a Parser interface in which the supported functions can be injected as an option. If not functions
are injected, the parser implementation will default to the functions defined in the global Functions variable.

This follow a simple function-based approach to access the count and
sum fields of a native Histogram. It might be more elegant to
implement “accessors” via the dot operator, as considered in the
brainstorming doc [1]. However, that would require the introduction of
a whole new concept in PromQL. For the PoC, we should be fine with the
function-based approch. Even the obvious inefficiencies (rate'ing a
whole histogram twice when we only want to rate each the count and the
sum once) could be optimized behind the scenes.
Note that the function-based approach elegantly solves the problem of
detecting counter resets in the sum of observations in the case of
negative observations. (Since the whole native Histogram is rate'd,
the counter reset is detected for the Histogram as a whole.)
We will decide later if an “accessor” approach is really needed. It
would change the example expression for average duration in
functions.md from
histogram_sum(rate(http_request_duration_seconds[10m]))
/
histogram_count(rate(http_request_duration_seconds[10m]))
to
rate(http_request_duration_seconds.sum[10m])
/
rate(http_request_duration_seconds.count[10m])
