Allow scrape_configs to have an optional proxy_url option which specifies
a proxy to be used for all connections to hosts in that config.
Internally this modifies the various client functions to take a *url.URL pointer
which currently must point to an HTTP proxy (but has been left open-ended to
allow the url format to be extended to support others, such as maybe SOCKS if
needed).
Main changes:
- Switched to using `go-bindata` in place of `scripts/embed-static.sh`.
- Support for building Prometheus without a `Makefile`.
- Minor typo fix to make Prometheus build on Windows (without Makefiles).
Please note that this does not mean that prometheus will work on Windows.
There are still failing tests!
The route package is a thin wrapper around github.com/julienschmidt/httprouter.
It brings the interface back to http.Handler and embedds params in a context.
The new router comes with prefixing support.
