* Allow getting credentials via EC2 role
This is subtly different than the existing `role_arn` solution, which
allows Prometheus to assume an IAM role given some set of credentials
already in-scope. With EC2 roles, one specifies the role at instance
launch time (via an instance profile.) The instance then exposes
temporary credentials via its metadata. The AWS Go SDK exposes a
credential provider that polls the [instance metadata endpoint][1]
already, so we can simply use that and it will take care of renewing the
credentials when they expire.
Without this, if this is being used inside EC2, it is difficult to
cleanly allow the use of STS credentials. One has to set up a proxy role
that can assume the role you really want, and launch the EC2 instance
with the proxy role. This isn't very clean, and also doesn't seem to be
[supported very well][2].

* Automatically try to detect EC2 role credentials
The `Available()` function exposed on ec2metadata returns a simple
true/false if the ec2 metadata is available. This is the best way to
know if we're actually running in EC2 (which is the only valid use-case
for this credential provider.)
This allows this to "just work" if you are using EC2 instance roles.
staticcheck fails with:
storage/remote/read_test.go:199:27: do not pass a nil Context, even if a function permits it; pass context.TODO if you are unsure about which Context to use (SA1012)
Currently all read queries are simply pushed to remote read clients.
This is fine, except for remote storage for wich it unefficient and
make query slower even if remote read is unnecessary.
So we need instead to compare the oldest timestamp in primary/local
storage with the query range lower boundary. If the oldest timestamp
is older than the mint parameter, then there is no need for remote read.
This is an optionnal behavior per remote read client.

This change enables the OpenStack service discovery to read the
authentication parameters from the OS_* environment variables when the
identity endpoint URL is not defined in the Prometheus configuration
file.
* Add UI warning for time drift >30 seconds
* Yellow time drift warning & better warning message
* Set warning threshold to 30 sec
* Include changed assets
Instead, just make the anchoring part of the internal regex. This helps because
some users will want to read back the `Value` field and expect it to be the
same as the input value (e.g. some tests in Cortex), or use the value in
another context which is already expected to add its own anchoring, leading to
superfluous double anchoring (such as when we translate matchers into remote
read request matchers).
Instead or only printing the help message, which is not always helpful.
For example, when upgrading from prometheus v1, the retention time value
format has changed and now only accepts one unit (e.g. "15d") where it
previously allowed more complex strings (e.g. "360h0m0s").
This commit provides the error message as an explanation for the parsing
failure.
