promql, tsdb (histograms): Do not re-use spans between histograms
When multiple points exist with the same native histogram schemas they
share their spans.
This causes a problem when a native histogram (NH) schema is modified (for example, during
a Sum) then the other NH's with the same spans are also modified. As such,
we should create a new Span for each NH. This will ensure NH's interfaces
are safe to use without considering the effect on other histograms.
At the moment this doesn't present itself as a problem because in all
aggregations and functions operating on native histograms they are copied
by the promql query engine first.

Iterator may share spans without copy, so we always have to make a copy
before modification - copy-on-write.

* chunkenc: allow missing empty buckets on histogram append
Allow appending to chunks when the histogram to be added is missing
some buckets, but the missing buckets are empty in the chunk.
For example bucket at index 5 is present in the chunk, but its value
is 0 and the new histogram doesn't have a bucket at index 5.
This fixes an issue of merging chunks where one chunk was recoded to
retroactively have some empty buckets in all the histograms and we are
merging in a histogram that doesn't have the empty bucket (because it
was not recoded yet).
The operation alters the histogram that is being added, however this has
already been the case when appending gauge histograms. Thus the test
TestHistogramSeriesToChunks in storage package is changed to explicitly
test what happened to the appended histogram - Compact(0) call is removed.
The new expandIntSpansAndBuckets and expandFloatSpansAndBuckets functions
are a merge of expandSpansForward and counterResetInAnyBucket and
counterResetInAnyFloatBucket.

* Use single bit to differentiate between optimized bounds and floats
Use one bit to decide what kind of data to read/write.
This reduces storage need of floats from 72 bits to 65 bits and makes the
integers store in 5 to 32 bits instead of 16.

Optimize histogram iterators
Histogram iterators allocate new objects in the AtHistogram and
AtFloatHistogram methods, which makes calculating rates over long
ranges expensive.
In #13215 we allowed an existing object to be reused
when converting an integer histogram to a float histogram. This commit follows
the same idea and allows injecting an existing object in the AtHistogram and
AtFloatHistogram methods. When the injected value is nil, iterators allocate
new histograms, otherwise they populate and return the injected object.
The commit also adds a CopyTo method to Histogram and FloatHistogram which
is used in the BufferedIterator to overwrite items in the ring instead of making
new copies.
Note that a specialized HPoint pool is needed for all of this to work
(`matrixSelectorHPool`).

The 'ToFloat' method on integer histograms currently allocates new memory
each time it is called.
This commit adds an optional *FloatHistogram parameter that can be used
to reuse span and bucket slices. It is up to the caller to make sure the
input float histogram is not used anymore after the call.

We should check counterReset condition rather than okToAppend because if

The ChunkReader interface's Chunk() has been changed to ChunkOrIterable().
This is a precursor to OOO native histogram support - with OOO native histograms, the chunks.Meta passed to Chunk() can result in multiple chunks being returned rather than just a single chunk (e.g. if oooMergedChunk has a counter reset in the middle).
To support this, ChunkOrIterable() requires either a single chunk or an iterable to be returned. If an iterable is returned, the caller has the responsibility of converting the samples from the iterable into possibly multiple chunks. The OOOHeadChunkReader now returns an iterable rather than a chunk to prepare for the native histograms case. Also as a beneficial side effect, oooMergedChunk and boundedChunk has been simplified as they only need to implement the Iterable interface now, not the full Chunk interface.

Add a chunk size limit in bytes
This creates a hard cap for XOR chunks of 1024 bytes.
The limit for histogram chunk is also 1024 bytes, but it is a soft limit as a histogram has a dynamic size, and even a single one could be larger than 1024 bytes.
This also avoids cutting new histogram chunks if the existing chunk has fewer than 10 histograms yet. In that way, we are accepting "jumbo chunks" in order to have at least 10 histograms in a chunk, allowing compression to kick in.

The code did not handle spans with 0 length properly.
Spans with length zero are now skipped in the comparison.
Span index check not done against length-1, since length is a unit32,
thus subtracting 1 leads to 2^32, not -1.
Fixes and unit tests for both integer and float histograms added.

Wiser coders than myself have come to the conclusion that a `switch`
statement is almost always superior to a statement that includes any
`else if`.
The exceptions that I have found in our codebase are just these two:
* The `if else` is followed by an additional statement before the next
condition (separated by a `;`).
* The whole thing is within a `for` loop and `break` statements are
used. In this case, using `switch` would require tagging the `for`
loop, which probably tips the balance.
Why are `switch` statements more readable?
For one, fewer curly braces. But more importantly, the conditions all
have the same alignment, so the whole thing follows the natural flow
of going down a list of conditions. With `else if`, in contrast, all
conditions but the first are "hidden" behind `} else if `, harder to
spot and (for no good reason) presented differently from the first
condition.
I'm sure the aforemention wise coders can list even more reasons.
In any case, I like it so much that I have found myself recommending
it in code reviews. I would like to make it a habit in our code base,
without making it a hard requirement that we would test on the CI. But
for that, there has to be a role model, so this commit eliminates all
`if else` occurrences, unless it is autogenerated code or fits one of
the exceptions above.

We haven't updated golint-ci in our CI yet, but this commit prepares
for that.
There are a lot of new warnings, and it is mostly because the "revive"
linter got updated. I agree with most of the new warnings, mostly
around not naming unused function parameters (although it is justified
in some cases for documentation purposes – while things like mocks are
a good example where not naming the parameter is clearer).
I'm pretty upset about the "empty block" warning to include `for`
loops. It's such a common pattern to do something in the head of the
`for` loop and then have an empty block. There is still an open issue
about this: https://github.com/mgechev/revive/issues/810 I have
disabled "revive" altogether in files where empty blocks are used
excessively, and I have made the effort to add individual
`// nolint:revive` where empty blocks are used just once or twice.
It's borderline noisy, though, but let's go with it for now.
I should mention that none of the "empty block" warnings for `for`
loop bodies were legitimate.

This is a bit more conservative than we could be. As long as a chunk
isn't the first in a block, we can be pretty sure that the previous
chunk won't disappear. However, the incremental gain of returning
NotCounterReset in these cases is probably very small and might not be
worth the code complications.
Wwith this, we now also pay attention to an explicitly set counter
reset during ingestion. While the case doesn't show up in practice
yet, there could be scenarios where the metric source knows there was
a counter reset even if it might not be visible from the values in the
histogram. It is also useful for testing.

- Adjust doc comments to go1.19 style.
- Break down some overly long lines.
- Minor doc comment tweaks and fixes.
- Some renaming.
Some rationales for the last point:
I have renamed “interjections” into “inserts”, mostly because it is
shorter, and the word shows up a lot by now (and the concept is
cryptic enough to not obfuscate it even more with abbreviations).
I have also tried to find more descriptive naming for the “compare
spans” functions.
