When a metric has a null value, number formatters like
`humanizeNoSmallPrefix` will throw "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read
property 'toPrecision' of null".
This is fixed by explicitly checking for `null` and returning the string
"null".
Note: This is usually not seen as rickshaw doesn't show annotations for
null values, but still calls the formatter.

The scrape manage receiver's channel now just saves the target sets
and another backgorund runner updates the scrape loops every 5 seconds.
This is so that the scrape manager doesn't block the receiving channel
when it does the long background reloading of the scrape loops.
Active and dropped targets are now saved in each scrape pool instead of
the scrape manager. This is mainly to avoid races when getting the
targets via the web api.
When reloading the scrape loops now happens in parallel to speed up the
final disared state and this also speeds up the prometheus's shutting
down.
Also updated some funcs signatures in the web package for consistency.

When prom2 came out the storage querier interface consolidated to a
single Select() method. While doing this it makes it impossible as the
implementer of the querier to know if you are being called for metadata
or actual data. The workaround has been to check if the SelectParams are
nil, which the federation call is always nil. This has 2 negative
consequences (1) remote implementations interpret this as a metadata
call, which makes the federation endpoint return nothing. (2) this means
that the storage implementations don't get the same information passed
down to them as far as SelectParams goes.
This diff simply adds SelectParams to the Select() call in the
federation handler
