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.

This commit introduces a new metric to count the number of failed
requests to Linode's API when using Linode SD. Resolves#10672, inspired
by #10476.
_Note_: this doens't count failures when polling the `/account/events`
endpoint, as a `401` there is how we determine if the supplied token has
the needed API scopes to do event polling vs full refreshes each
interval.

We are re-enabling HTTP 2 again. There has been a few bugfixes upstream
in go, and we have also enabled ReadIdleTimeout.

* optimize Linode SD by polling for event changes during refresh
Most accounts are fairly "static", in the sense that they're not cycling
through instances constantly. So rather than do a full refresh every
interval and potentially make several behind-the-scenes paginated API
calls, this will now poll the `/account/events/` endpoint every minute
with a list of events that we care about. If a matching event is found,
we then do a full refresh.
