This adds bit buckets for larger numbers to varbit encoding and also
an unsigned version of varbit encoding.
Then, varbit encoding is used for all the histogram chunk data instead
of varint.

A lot of this code was hacked together, literally during a
hackathon. This commit intends not to change the code substantially,
but just make the code obey the usual style practices.
A (possibly incomplete) list of areas:
* Generally address linter warnings.
* The `pgk` directory is deprecated as per dev-summit. No new packages should
be added to it. I moved the new `pkg/histogram` package to `model`
anticipating what's proposed in #9478.
* Make the naming of the Sparse Histogram more consistent. Including
abbreviations, there were just too many names for it: SparseHistogram,
Histogram, Histo, hist, his, shs, h. The idea is to call it "Histogram" in
general. Only add "Sparse" if it is needed to avoid confusion with
conventional Histograms (which is rare because the TSDB really has no notion
of conventional Histograms). Use abbreviations only in local scope, and then
really abbreviate (not just removing three out of seven letters like in
"Histo"). This is in the spirit of
https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/CodeReviewComments#variable-names
* Several other minor name changes.
* A lot of formatting of doc comments. For one, following
https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/CodeReviewComments#comment-sentences
, but also layout question, anticipating how things will look like
when rendered by `godoc` (even where `godoc` doesn't render them
right now because they are for unexported types or not a doc comment
at all but just a normal code comment - consistency is queen!).
* Re-enabled `TestQueryLog` and `TestEndopints` (they pass now,
leaving them disabled was presumably an oversight).
* Bucket iterator for histogram.Histogram is now created with a
method.
* HistogramChunk.iterator now allows iterator recycling. (I think
@dieterbe only commented it out because he was confused by the
question in the comment.)
* HistogramAppender.Append panics now because we decided to treat
staleness marker differently.
