Return annotations (warnings and infos) from PromQL queries
This generalizes the warnings we have already used before (but only for problems with remote read) as "annotations".
Annotations can be warnings or infos (the latter could be false positives). We do not treat them different in the API for now and return them all as "warnings". It would be easy to distinguish them and return infos separately, should that appear useful in the future.
The new annotations are then used to create a lot of warnings or infos during PromQL evaluations. Partially these are things we have wanted for a long time (e.g. inform the user that they have applied `rate` to a metric that doesn't look like a counter), but the new native histograms have created even more needs for those annotations (e.g. if a query tries to aggregate float numbers with histograms).
The annotations added here are not yet complete. A prominent example would be a warning about a range too short for a rate calculation. But such a warnings is more tricky to create with good fidelity and we will tackle it later.
Another TODO is to take annotations into account when evaluating recording rules.

Add a chunk size limit in bytes
This creates a hard cap for XOR chunks of 1024 bytes.
The limit for histogram chunk is also 1024 bytes, but it is a soft limit as a histogram has a dynamic size, and even a single one could be larger than 1024 bytes.
This also avoids cutting new histogram chunks if the existing chunk has fewer than 10 histograms yet. In that way, we are accepting "jumbo chunks" in order to have at least 10 histograms in a chunk, allowing compression to kick in.

So far, `ValidateHistogram` would not detect if the count did not
include the count in the zero bucket. This commit fixes the problem
and updates all the tests that have been undetected offenders so far.
Note that this problem would only ever create false negatives, so we
never falsely rejected to store a histogram because of it.
On the other hand, `ValidateFloatHistogram` has been to strict with
the count being at least as large as the sum of the counts in all the
buckets. Float precision issues could create false positives here, see
products of PromQL evaluations, it's actually quite hard to put an
upper limit no the floating point imprecision. Users could produce the
weirdest expressions, maxing out float precision problems. Therefore,
this commit simply removes that particular check from
`ValidateFloatHistogram`.

Simlar to cleanup of WAL files on startup, cleanup temporary
chunk_snapshot dirs. This prevents storage space leaks due to terminated
snapshots on shutdown.

Currently memSeries holds a single head chunk in-memory and a slice of mmapped chunks.
When append() is called on memSeries it might decide that a new headChunk is needed to use for given append() call.
If that happens it will first mmap existing head chunk and only after that happens it will create a new empty headChunk and continue appending
our sample to it.
Since appending samples uses write lock on memSeries no other read or write can happen until any append is completed.
When we have an append() that must create a new head chunk the whole memSeries is blocked until mmapping of existing head chunk finishes.
Mmapping itself uses a lock as it needs to be serialised, which means that the more chunks to mmap we have the longer each chunk might wait
for it to be mmapped.
If there's enough chunks that require mmapping some memSeries will be locked for long enough that it will start affecting
queries and scrapes.
Queries might timeout, since by default they have a 2 minute timeout set.
Scrapes will be blocked inside append() call, which means there will be a gap between samples. This will first affect range queries
or calls using rate() and such, since the time range requested in the query might have too few samples to calculate anything.
To avoid this we need to remove mmapping from append path, since mmapping is blocking.
But this means that when we cut a new head chunk we need to keep the old one around, so we can mmap it later.
This change makes memSeries.headChunk a linked list, memSeries.headChunk still points to the 'open' head chunk that receives new samples,
while older, yet to be mmapped, chunks are linked to it.
Mmapping is done on a schedule by iterating all memSeries one by one. Thanks to this we control when mmapping is done, since we trigger
it manually, which reduces the risk that it will have to compete for mmap locks with other chunks.

Snappy remains as the default compression but there is now a flag to switch

We haven't updated golint-ci in our CI yet, but this commit prepares
for that.
There are a lot of new warnings, and it is mostly because the "revive"
linter got updated. I agree with most of the new warnings, mostly
around not naming unused function parameters (although it is justified
in some cases for documentation purposes – while things like mocks are
a good example where not naming the parameter is clearer).
I'm pretty upset about the "empty block" warning to include `for`
loops. It's such a common pattern to do something in the head of the
`for` loop and then have an empty block. There is still an open issue
about this: https://github.com/mgechev/revive/issues/810 I have
disabled "revive" altogether in files where empty blocks are used
excessively, and I have made the effort to add individual
`// nolint:revive` where empty blocks are used just once or twice.
It's borderline noisy, though, but let's go with it for now.
I should mention that none of the "empty block" warnings for `for`
loop bodies were legitimate.

In the past, every sample value was a float, so it was fine to call a
variable holding such a float "value" or "sample". With native
histograms, a sample might have a histogram value. And a histogram
value is still a value. Calling a float value just "value" or "sample"
or "V" is therefore misleading. Over the last few commits, I already
renamed many variables, but this cleans up a few more places where the
changes are more invasive.
Note that we do not to attempt naming in the JSON APIs or in the
protobufs. That would be quite a disruption. However, internally, we
can call variables as we want, and we should go with the option of
avoiding misunderstandings.

If the snapshot was enabled with some ooo mmap chunks on disk,
and wbl was removed between restarts, then we should still be able
to query the ooo mmap chunks after a restart. This test shows that
we are not able to query those ooo mmap chunks after a restart
under this situation.

This is a bit more conservative than we could be. As long as a chunk
isn't the first in a block, we can be pretty sure that the previous
chunk won't disappear. However, the incremental gain of returning
NotCounterReset in these cases is probably very small and might not be
worth the code complications.
Wwith this, we now also pay attention to an explicitly set counter
reset during ingestion. While the case doesn't show up in practice
yet, there could be scenarios where the metric source knows there was
a counter reset even if it might not be visible from the values in the
histogram. It is also useful for testing.

Instead of passing in a `ScratchBuilder` and `Labels`, just pass the
builder and the caller can extract labels from it. In many cases the
caller didn't use the Labels value anyway.
Now in `Labels.ScratchBuilder` we need a slightly different API: one
to assign what will be the result, instead of overwriting some other
`Labels`. This is safer and easier to reason about.

This necessitates a change to the `tsdb.IndexReader` interface:
`index.Reader` is used from multiple goroutines concurrently, so we
can't have state in it.
We do retain a `ScratchBuilder` in `blockBaseSeriesSet` which is
iterator-like.

Patterned after `Chunk.Iterator()`: pass the old iterator in so it
can be re-used to avoid allocating a new object.
(This commit does not do any re-use; it is just changing all the method
signatures so re-use is possible in later commits.)
