This adds timers around several query-relevant code blocks. For now, the
query timer stats are only logged for queries initiated through the UI.
In other cases (rule evaluations), the stats are simply thrown away.
My hope is that this helps us understand where queries spend time,
especially in cases where they sometimes hang for unusual amounts of
time.
This commit adds telemetry for the Prometheus expression rule
evaluator, which will enable meta-Prometheus monitoring of customers
to ensure that no instance is falling behind in answering routine
queries.
A few other sundry simplifications are introduced, too.
This also removes the now obsolete scalar count() function and corrects the
expressions test naming (broken in
2202cd71c9 (L6R59))
so that the expression tests will actually run.
``Target`` will be refactored down the road to support various
nuanced endpoint types. Thusly incorporating the scheduling
behavior within it will be problematic. To that end, the scheduling
behavior has been moved into a separate assistance type to improve
conciseness and testability.
``make format`` was also run.
