We are still seeing lock contention on MemPostings.mtx, and MemPostings.Delete() is by far the most expensive operation on that mutex.
This adds parallelism to that method, trying to reduce the amount of time we spend with the mutex held.

Go's built-in append() grows larger slices with factor 1.3, which means we do a lot more allocating and copying for larger postings.

Several things done here:
- Set `max-issues-per-linter` to 0 so that we actually see all linter
warnings and not just 50 per linter. (As we also set
`max-same-issues` to 0, I assume this was the intention from the
beginning.)
- Stop using the golangci-lint default excludes (by setting
`exclude-use-default: false`. Those are too generous and don't match
our style conventions. (I have re-added some of the excludes
explicitly in this commit. See below.)
- Re-add the `errcheck` exclusion we have used so far via the
defaults.
- Exclude the signature requirement `govet` has for `Seek` methods
because we use non-standard `Seek` methods a lot. (But we keep other
requirements, while the default excludes completely disabled the
check for common method segnatures.)
- Exclude warnings about missing doc comments on exported symbols. (We
used to be pretty adamant about doc comments, but stopped that at
some point in the past. By now, we have about 500 missing doc
comments. We may consider reintroducing this check, but that's
outside of the scope of this commit. The default excludes of
golangci-lint essentially ignore doc comments completely.)
- By stop using the default excludes, we now get warnings back on
malformed doc comments. That's the most impactful change in this
commit. It does not enforce doc comments (again), but _if_ there is
a doc comment, it has to have the recommended form. (Most of the
changes in this commit are fixing this form.)
- Improve wording/spelling of some comments in .golangci.yml, and
remove an outdated comment.
- Leave `package-comments` inactive, but add a TODO asking if we
should change that.
- Add a new sub-linter `comment-spacings` (and fix corresponding
comments), which avoids missing spaces after the leading `//`.

* Pass affected labels to MemPostings.Delete
As suggested by @bboreham, we can track the labels of the deleted series
and avoid iterating through all the label/value combinations.
This looks much faster on the MemPostings.Delete call. We don't have a
benchmark on stripeSeries.gc() where we'll pay the price of iterating
the labels of each one of the deleted series.

The only call we have to LabelValuesFor() has an index.Postings, and we
expand it to pass to this method, which will iterate over the values.
That's a waste of resources: we can iterate on the index.Postings
directly.
If there's any downstream implementation that has a slice of series,
they can always do an index.ListPostings from them: doing that is
cheaper than expanding an abstract index.Postings.

* MemPostings.PostingsForLabelMatching: let mutex go
This changes the `MemPostings.PostingsForLabelMatching` implementation
to stop holding the read mutex while matching the label values.
We've seen that this method can be slow when the matcher is expensive,
that's why we even added a context expiration check.
However, there are critical process that might be waiting on this mutex:
writes (adding new series) and compaction (deleting the
garbage-collected ones), so we should avoid holding it for a long period
of time.
Given that we've copied the values to a slice anyway, there's no need to
hold the lock while matching.

* MemPostings: reduce locking/unlocking
MemPostings.Delete is called from Head.gc(), i.e. it gets the IDs of the
series that have churned.
I'd assume that many label values aren't affected by that churn at all,
so it doesn't make sense to touch the lock while checking them.

Follow up on https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/pull/14096
As promised, I bring a benchmark, which shows a very small improvement
if context is checked every 128 iterations of label instead of every
100.
It's much easier for a computer to check modulo 128 than modulo 100.
This is a very small 0-2% improvement but I'd say this is one of the
hottest paths of the app so this is still relevant.

* tsdb: check for context cancel before regex matching postings
Regex matching can be heavy if the regex takes a lot of cycles to
evaluate and we can get stuck evaluating postings for a long time
without this fix. The constant checkContextEveryNIterations=100
may be changed later.

Add method `PostingsForLabelMatching` to `tsdb.IndexReader`, to obtain postings for labels with a certain name and values accepted by a provided callback, and use it from `tsdb.PostingsForMatchers`.
The intention is to optimize regexp matcher paths, especially not having to load all label values before matching on them.
Plus tests, and refactor some `tsdb/index.Reader` methods.
Benchmarking shows memory reduction up to ~100%, and speedup of up to ~50%.

This PR is a reference implementation of the proposal described in #10420.
In addition to what described in #10420, in this PR I've introduced labels.StableHash(). The idea is to offer an hashing function which doesn't change over time, and that's used by query sharding in order to get a stable behaviour over time. The implementation of labels.StableHash() is the hashing function used by Prometheus before stringlabels, and what's used by Grafana Mimir for query sharding (because built before stringlabels was a thing).
Follow up work
As mentioned in #10420, if this PR is accepted I'm also open to upload another foundamental piece used by Grafana Mimir query sharding to accelerate the query execution: an optional, configurable and fast in-memory cache for the series hashes.

* tsdb/{index,compact}: allow using custom postings encoding format
We would like to experiment with a different postings encoding format in
Thanos so in this change I am proposing adding another argument to
`NewWriter` which would allow users to change the format if needed.
Also, wire the leveled compactor so that it would be possible to change
the format there too.

It's faster.
Note change to test - instead of requiring that the data structure is
identical to `EmptyPostings()`, check that calling `Next()` returns
false, which implies it was empty.
Also the check for context cancellation during initialization was
removed. Initialization should be a small portion of the work done
during merge, so it's not worth plumbing a context argument through.

Drop context argument from tsdb/index.Symbols.Lookup since lookup
