In that commit, the 'maintainSeries' call was accidentally removed.
This commit refactors things a bit so that there is now a clean
'maintainMemorySeries' and a 'maintainArchivedSeries' call.
Straighten the nomenclature a bit (consistently use 'drop' for
chunks and 'purge' for series/metrics).
Remove the annoying 'Completed maintenance sweep through archived
fingerprints' message if there were no archived fingerprints to do
maintenance on.
This is done by bucketing chunks by fingerprint. If the persisting to
disk falls behind, more and more chunks are in the queue. As soon as
there are "double hits", we will now persist both chunks in one go,
doubling the disk throughput (assuming it is limited by disk
seeks). Should even more pile up so that we end wit "triple hits", we
will persist those first, and so on.
Even if we have millions of time series, this will still help,
assuming not all of them are growing with the same speed. Series that
get many samples and/or are not very compressable will accumulate
chunks faster, and they will soon get double- or triple-writes.
To improve the chance of double writes,
-storage.local.persistence-queue-capacity could be set to a higher
value. However, that will slow down shutdown a lot (as the queue has
to be worked through). So we leave it to the user to set it to a
really high value. A more fundamental solution would be to checkpoint
not only head chunks, but also chunks still in the persist queue. That
would be quite complicated for a rather limited use-case (running many
time series with high ingestion rate on slow spinning disks).
- Move CONTRIBUTORS.md to the more common AUTHORS.
- Added the required NOTICE file.
- Changed "Prometheus Team" to "The Prometheus Authors".
- Reverted the erroneous changes to the Apache License.
Now only purge if there is something to purge.
Also, set savedFirstTime and archived time range appropriately.
(Which is needed for the optimization.)

Fix the behavior if preload for non-existent series is requested.
Instead of returning an error (which triggers a panic further up),
simply count those incidents. They can happen regularly, we just want
to know if they happen too frequently because that would mean the
indexing is behind or broken.

The root cause was that after chunkDesc eviction, the offset between
memory representation of chunk layout (via chunkDescs in memory) was
shiftet against chunks as layed out on disk. Keeping the offset up to
date is by no means trivial, so this commit is pretty involved.
Also, found a race that for some reason didn't bite us so far:
Persisting chunks was completel unlocked, so if chunks were purged on
disk at the same time, disaster would strike. However, locking the
persisting of chunk revealed interesting dead locks. Basically, never
queue under the fp lock.

- Staleness delta is no a proper function parameter and not replicated
from package ast.
- Named type 'chunks' replaced by explicit '[]chunk' to avoid confusion.
- For the same reason, replaced 'chunkDescs' by '[]*chunkDescs'.
- Verified that math.Modf is not a speed enhancement over conversion
(actually 5x slower).
- Renamed firstTimeField, lastTimeField into chunkFirstTime and
chunkLastTime.
- Verified unpin() is sufficiently goroutine-safe.
- Decided not to update archivedFingerprintToTimeRange upon series
truncation and added a rationale why.

Some other improvements on the way, in particular codec -> codable
renaming and addition of LookupSet methods.

Large delta values often imply a difference between a large base value
and the large delta value, potentially resulting in small numbers with
a huge precision error. Since large delta values need 8 bytes anyway,
we are not even saving memory.
As a solution, always save the absoluto value rather than a delta once
8 bytes would be needed for the delta. Timestamps are then saved as 8
byte integers, while values are always saved as float64 in that case.
