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.

* 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."

Use new experimental package `golang.org/x/exp/slices`.
slices.Sort works on values that are directly comparable, like ints,
so avoids the overhad of an interface call to `.Less()`.
Left tests unchanged, because they don't need the speed and it may be
a cross-check that slices.Sort gives the same answer.

And use the new method to call to compact Histograms during
parsing. This happens for both `Histogram` and `FloatHistogram`. In
this way, if targets decide to optimize the exposition size by merging
spans with empty buckets in between, we still get a normalized
results. It will also normalize away any valid but weird
representations like empty spans, spans with offset zero, and empty
buckets at the start or end of a span.
The implementation seemed easy at first as it just turns the
`compactBuckets` helper into a generic function (which now got its own
file). However, the integer Histograms have delta buckets instead of
absolute buckets, which had to be treated specially in the generic
`compactBuckets` function. To make sure it works, I have added plenty
of explicit tests for `Histogram` in addition to the `FloatHistogram`
tests.
I have also updated the doc comment for the `Compact` method.
Based on the insights now expressed in the doc comment, compacting
with a maxEmptyBuckets > 0 is rarely useful. Therefore, this commit
also sets the value to 0 in the two cases we were using 3 so far. We
might still want to reconsider, so I don't want to remove the
maxEmptyBuckets parameter right now.
