It's actually happening in several places (and for flags, we use the
standard Go time.Duration...). This at least reduces all our
home-grown parsing to one place (in model).
The prefixed target provider changed a pointerized target group that was
reused in the wrapped target provider, causing an ever-increasing chain
of source prefixes in target groups from the Consul target provider.
We now make this bug generally impossible by switching the target group
channel from pointer to value type and thus ensuring that target groups
are copied before being passed on to other parts of the system.
I tried to not let the depointerization leak too far outside of the
channel handling (both upstream and downstream) because I tried that
initially and caused some nasty bugs, which I want to minimize.

When the test ends, all files matching the watcher's glob are removed
via defer. In that moment, the draining goroutine may still be running
and then detect no files matching the configured glob just before the
test exits.
This is now solved by waiting for the draining goroutine to finish
before leaving the test function and thus causing the deferred file
removal.
Include position of same SD mechanisms within the same scrape configuration.
Move unique prefixing out of SD implementations and target manager into
its own interface.
Some SD configs may have many options. To be readable and consistent, make
all discovery constructors receive the full config rather than the separate
arguments.
This commits adds file based service discovery which reads target
groups from specified files. It detects changes based on file watches
and regular refreshes.
