Move logic handling this into the labels package,
so all the cases are handled in one place and we're
less likely to have this come up again.

For my benchmarks on aggregation this reduces allocations by ~5% (~10%
time improvement):
```
benchmark old ns/op new ns/op delta
BenchmarkEvaluations/benchdata/aggregators.test/promxy-4 727692 649626 -10.73%
benchmark old allocs new allocs delta
BenchmarkEvaluations/benchdata/aggregators.test/promxy-4 2566 2434 -5.14%
benchmark old bytes new bytes delta
BenchmarkEvaluations/benchdata/aggregators.test/promxy-4 162760 148854 -8.54%

The semantics of honor_labels are that if a target exposes
and empty label it will override the target labels. This PR
fixes that by once again distinguishing between empty labels
and missing labels in this one use case.
Beyond that empty labels should be pruned and not added to storage,
which this also fixes.
Fixes#3841
