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.

In other words: Instead of having a “polymorphous” `Point` that can
either contain a float value or a histogram value, use an `FPoint` for
floats and an `HPoint` for histograms.
This seemingly small change has a _lot_ of repercussions throughout
the codebase.
The idea here is to avoid the increase in size of `Point` arrays that
happened after native histograms had been added.
The higher-level data structures (`Sample`, `Series`, etc.) are still
“polymorphous”. The same idea could be applied to them, but at each
step the trade-offs needed to be evaluated.
The idea with this change is to do the minimum necessary to get back
to pre-histogram performance for functions that do not touch
histograms. Here are comparisons for the `changes` function. The test
data doesn't include histograms yet. Ideally, there would be no change
in the benchmark result at all.

In summary, the runtime doesn't really improve with this change for
queries with just a few steps. For queries with many steps, this
commit essentially reinstates the old performance. This is good
because the many-step queries are the one that matter most (longest
absolute runtime).
In terms of allocations, though, this commit doesn't make a dent at
all (numbers not shown). The reason is that most of the allocations
happen in the sampleRingIterator (in the storage package), which has
to be addressed in a separate commit.

It took a `Labels` where the memory could be re-used, but in practice
this hardly ever benefitted. Especially after converting `relabel.Process`
to `relabel.ProcessBuilder`.
Comparing the parameter to `nil` was a bug; `EmptyLabels` is not `nil`
so the slice was reallocated multiple times by `append`.
Lastly `Builder.Labels()` now estimates that the final size will depend
on labels added and deleted.

This commit adds a new 'keep_firing_for' field to Prometheus alerting
rules. The 'resolve_delay' field specifies the minimum amount of time
that an alert should remain firing, even if the expression does not
return any results.
This feature was discussed at a previous dev summit, and it was
determined that a feature like this would be useful in order to allow
the expression time to stabilize and prevent confusing resolved messages
from being propagated through Alertmanager.
This approach is simpler than having two PromQL queries, as was
sometimes discussed, and it should be easy to implement.
This commit does not include tests for the 'resolve_delay' field. This
is intentional, as the purpose of this commit is to gather comments on
the proposed design of the 'resolve_delay' field before implementing
tests. Once the design of the 'resolve_delay' field has been finalized,
a follow-up commit will be submitted with tests."

During shutdown TSDB is stopped before rule manager is stopped. Since TSDB shutdown can take a long time (minutes or 10s of minutes) it keeps rule manager running while parts of Prometheus are already stopped (most notebly scrape manager). This can cause false positive alerts to fire, mostly those that rely on absent() calls since new sample appends will stop while alert queries are still evaluated.
Stop rules before stopping TSDB and scrape manager to avoid this problem.

We always track total samples queried and add those to the standard set
of stats queries can report.
We also allow optionally tracking per-step samples queried. This must be
enabled both at the engine and query level to be tracked and rendered.
The engine flag is exposed via a Prometheus feature flag, while the
query flag is set when stats=all.

- Pick At... method via return value of Next/Seek.
- Do not clobber returned buckets.
- Add partial FloatHistogram suppert.
Note that the promql package is now _only_ dealing with
FloatHistograms, following the idea that PromQL only knows float
values.
As a byproduct, I have removed the histogramSeries metric. In my
understanding, series can have both float and histogram samples, so
that metric doesn't make sense anymore.
As another byproduct, I have converged the sampleBuf and the
histogramSampleBuf in memSeries into one. The sample type stored in
the sampleBuf has been extended to also contain histograms even before
this commit.

The rules manager keeps a note of which series were generated by the
last run, so it can write a stale marker to those that disappeared.
Since the keys are not for human eyes, we can use a simpler format

This moves the label lookup into TSDB, whilst still keeping the cached-ref optimisation for repeated Appends.
This makes the API easier to consume and implement. In particular this change is motivated by the scrape-time-aggregation work, which I don't think is possible to implement without it as it needs access to label values.
