Wiser coders than myself have come to the conclusion that a `switch`
statement is almost always superior to a statement that includes any
`else if`.
The exceptions that I have found in our codebase are just these two:
* The `if else` is followed by an additional statement before the next
condition (separated by a `;`).
* The whole thing is within a `for` loop and `break` statements are
used. In this case, using `switch` would require tagging the `for`
loop, which probably tips the balance.
Why are `switch` statements more readable?
For one, fewer curly braces. But more importantly, the conditions all
have the same alignment, so the whole thing follows the natural flow
of going down a list of conditions. With `else if`, in contrast, all
conditions but the first are "hidden" behind `} else if `, harder to
spot and (for no good reason) presented differently from the first
condition.
I'm sure the aforemention wise coders can list even more reasons.
In any case, I like it so much that I have found myself recommending
it in code reviews. I would like to make it a habit in our code base,
without making it a hard requirement that we would test on the CI. But
for that, there has to be a role model, so this commit eliminates all
`if else` occurrences, unless it is autogenerated code or fits one of
the exceptions above.

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.

In other words: Instead of having a “polymorphous” `Point` that can
either contain a float value or a histogram value, use an `FPoint` for
floats and an `HPoint` for histograms.
This seemingly small change has a _lot_ of repercussions throughout
the codebase.
The idea here is to avoid the increase in size of `Point` arrays that
happened after native histograms had been added.
The higher-level data structures (`Sample`, `Series`, etc.) are still
“polymorphous”. The same idea could be applied to them, but at each
step the trade-offs needed to be evaluated.
The idea with this change is to do the minimum necessary to get back
to pre-histogram performance for functions that do not touch
histograms. Here are comparisons for the `changes` function. The test
data doesn't include histograms yet. Ideally, there would be no change
in the benchmark result at all.

In summary, the runtime doesn't really improve with this change for
queries with just a few steps. For queries with many steps, this
commit essentially reinstates the old performance. This is good
because the many-step queries are the one that matter most (longest
absolute runtime).
In terms of allocations, though, this commit doesn't make a dent at
all (numbers not shown). The reason is that most of the allocations
happen in the sampleRingIterator (in the storage package), which has
to be addressed in a separate commit.

query_samples_total is a counter that tracks the total number of samples loaded by all queries.
The goal with this metric is to be able to see the amount of 'work' done by Prometheus to service queries.
At the moment we have metrics with the number of queries, plus more detailed metrics showing how much time each step of a query takes.
While those metrics do help they don't show us the whole picture.
Queries that do load more samples are (in general) more expensive than queries that do load fewer samples.
This means that looking only at the number of queries doesn't tell us how much 'work' Prometheus received.
Adding a counter that tracks the total number of samples loaded allows us to see if there was a spike in the cost of queries, not just the number of them.

* Use zeropool.Pool to workaround SA6002
I built a tiny library called https://github.com/colega/zeropool to
workaround the SA6002 staticheck issue.
While searching for the references of that SA6002 staticheck issues on
Github first results was Prometheus itself, with quite a lot of ignores
of it.
This changes the usages of `sync.Pool` to `zeropool.Pool[T]` where a

It took a `Labels` where the memory could be re-used, but in practice
this hardly ever benefitted. Especially after converting `relabel.Process`
to `relabel.ProcessBuilder`.
Comparing the parameter to `nil` was a bug; `EmptyLabels` is not `nil`
so the slice was reallocated multiple times by `append`.
Lastly `Builder.Labels()` now estimates that the final size will depend
on labels added and deleted.

TestConcurrentRangeQueries runs many queries, up to 4 at the same time,
to try to expose any race conditions.
This change stops four of them from running with a thousand or more steps:
`holt_winters(a_X[1d], 0.3, 0.3)`
`changes(a_X[1d])`
`rate(a_X[1d])`
`absent_over_time(a_X[1d])`
Particularly when the test runs with `-race` in CI, this reduces the
time and resources required.

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.

Note we skip large count_values queries -
`count_values` allocates a slice per unique value in the output, and
this test has unique values on every step of every series so it adds up
to a lot of slices. Add Go runtime overhead for checking `-race`, and
it chews up many gigabytes.

We use `labels.Builder` to parse metrics, to avoid depending on the
internal implementation. This is not efficient, but the feature is only
used in tests. It wasn't efficient previously either - calling `Sort()`
after adding each label.
`createLabelsForAbsentFunction` also uses a Builder now, and gets
an extra `map` to replace the previous `Has()` usage.

* Switch from 'sanity' to more inclusive lanuage
"Removing ableist language in code is important; it helps to create and
maintain an environment that welcomes all developers of all backgrounds,
while emphasizing that we as developers select the most articulate,
precise, descriptive language we can rather than relying on metaphors.
The phrase sanity check is ableist, and unnecessarily references mental
health in our code bases. It denotes that people with mental illnesses
are inferior, wrong, or incorrect, and the phrase sanity continues to be
used by employers and other individuals to discriminate against these
people."
