This optimizes the runtime and memory allocation behavior for label matchers
other than type "Equal". Instead of creating a new set for every union of
fingerprints, this simply adds new fingerprints to the existing set to achieve
the same effect.
The current behavior made a production Prometheus unresponsive when running a
NotEqual match against the "instance" label (a label with high value
cardinality).

There are four label-matching ops for selecting timeseries now:
- Equal: =
- NotEqual: !=
- RegexMatch: =~
- RegexNoMatch: !~
Instead of looking up labels by a simple clientmodel.LabelSet (basically
an equals op for every key/value pair in the set), timeseries
fingerprint selection is now done via a list of metric.LabelMatchers.
