Usually, if you unarchive a series, it is to add something to it,
which will create a new head chunk. However, if a series in
unarchived, and before anything is added to it, it is handled by the
maintenance loop, it will be archived again. In that case, we have to
load the chunkDescs to know the lastTime of the series to be
archived. Usually, this case will happen only rarely (as a race, has
never happened so far, possibly because the locking around unarchiving
and the subsequent sample append is smart enough). However, during
crash recovery, we sometimes treat series as "freshly unarchived"
without directly appending a sample. We might add more cases of that
type later, so better deal with archiving properly and load chunkDescs
if required.
- Documented checkpoint file format.
- High-level description of series sanitation.
- Replace fp.LoadFromString panic with an error.
(Change in client_golang already submitted.)
- Introduced checks for series file size where appropriate.
- Removed two Law of Demeter violations.

- Delete unneeded file view_adapter.go.
- Assessed that we still need the fingerprints in nodes
(to create iterators).
- Turned numMemChunkDescs into a metric.

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.

Add gauge for chunks and chunkdescs in memory (backed by a global
variable to be used later not only for instrumentation but also for
memory management).
Refactored instrumentation code once more (instrumentation.go is back :).

- 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.

- Head chunk persisting only happens in evictOlderThan, so do it
there. (With the previous code, it would never happen.)
- Raw accesses to chunkDesc.chunk are now done via isEvicted (with
locking).

Most important, the heads file will now persist all the chunk descs,
too. Implicitly, it will serve as the persisted form of the
fp-to-series map.
