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`).

`BufferedSeriesIterator` and `MemoizedSeriesIterator` use a method
called `Values` for exactly the purpose for which all other iterators
of the same kind use a method called `At`. That alone is confusing,
but on top of that, the `Values` method only returns a single sample,
not multiple values. I assume the naming has historical reasons. This
commit makes it more consistent. It is now easier to read, and now
`BufferedSeriesIterator` and `MemoizedSeriesIterator` implement
`chunkenc.Iterator` like many other iterators, too.

- 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.
