There are four label-matching ops for selecting timeseries now:
- Equal: =
- NotEqual: !=
- RegexMatch: =~
- RegexNoMatch: !~
Instead of looking up labels by a simple clientmodel.LabelSet (basically
an equals op for every key/value pair in the set), timeseries
fingerprint selection is now done via a list of metric.LabelMatchers.

In the case that a getValuesAtIntervalOp's ExtractSamples() is called
with a current time after the last chunk time, we return without
extracting any further values beyond the last one in the chunk
(correct), but also without advancing the op's time (incorrect). This
leads to an infinite loop in renderView(), since the op is called
repeatedly without ever being advanced and consumed.
This adds handling for this special case. When detecting this case, we
immediately set the op to be consumed, since we would always get a value
after the current time passed in if there was one.

This fixes a bug where an interval op might advance too far past the end
of the currently extracted chunk, effectively skipping over relevant
(to-be-extracted) values in the subsequent chunk. The result: missing
samples at chunk boundaries in the resulting view.

This also fixes the compaction test, which before worked only because
the input sample sorting was accidentally equal to the resulting on-disk
sample sorting.

- Most of this is the actual regression test in tiered_test.go.
- Working on that regression tests uncovered problems in
tiered_test.go that are fixed in this commit.
- The 'op.consumed = false' line added to freelist.go was actually not
fixing a bug. Instead, there was no bug at all. So this commit
removes that line again, but adds a regression test to make sure
that the assumed bug is indeed not there (cf. freelist_test.go).
- Removed more code duplication in operation.go (following the same
approach as before, i.e. embedding op type A into op type B if
everything in A is the same as in B with the exception of String()
and ExtractSample()). (This change make struct literals for ops more
clunky, but that only affects tests. No code change whatsoever was
necessary in the actual code after this refactoring.)
- Fix another op leak in tiered.go.

Overall, this gives us good speedups in the areas where they matter
most: decoding values from disk and accessing the memory storage (which
is also used for views).
Some of the smaller append examples take minimally longer, but the cost
seems to get amortized over larger appends, so I'm not worried about
these. Also, we're currently not bottlenecked on the write path and have
plenty of other optimizations available in that area if it becomes
necessary.
Memory allocations during appends don't change measurably at all.

This doesn't add complex discriminator logic yet, but adds a single
version byte to the beginning of each samples chunk. If we ever need to
change the disk format again, this will make it easy to do so without
having to wipe the entire database.

This fixes https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/381.
For any stale series we dropped from memory, this bug caused us to also drop
any other series from the labelpair->fingerprints memory index if they had any
label/value-pairs in common with the intentionally dropped series.
To fix this issue more easily, I converted the labelpair->fingerprints index
map values to a utility.Set of clientmodel.Fingerprints. This makes handling
this index much easier in general.

Currently, rendering a view is capable of handling multiple ops for
the same fingerprint efficiently. However, this capability requires a
lot of complexity in the code, which we are not using at all because
the way we assemble a viewRequest will never have more than one
operation per fingerprint.
This commit weeds out the said capability, along with all the code
needed for it. It is still possible to have more than one operation
for the same fingerprint, it will just be handled in a less efficient
way (as proven by the unit tests).
As a result, scanjob.go could be removed entirely.
This commit also contains a few related refactorings and removals of
dead code in operation.go, view,go, and freelist.go. Also, the
docstrings received some love.

We have seven different types all called like LevelDB.*Options. One
of them is the plain LevelDBOptions. All others are just wrapping that
type without adding anything except clunkier handling.
If there ever was a plan to add more specific options to the various
LevelDB.*Options types, history has proven that nothing like that is
going to happen anytime soon.
To keep the code a bit shorter and more focused on the real (quite
significant) complexities we have to deal with here, this commit
reduces all uses of LevelDBOptions to the actual LevelDBOptions type.

- Mostly docstring fixed/additions.
(Please review these carefully, since most of them were missing, I
had to guess them from an outsider's perspective. (Which on the
other hand proves how desperately required many of these docstrings
are.))
- Removed all uses of new(...) to meet our own style guide (draft).
- Fixed all other 'go vet' and 'golint' issues (except those that are
not fixable (i.e. caused by bugs in or by design of 'go vet' and
'golint')).
- Some trivial refactorings, like reorder functions, minor renames, ...
- Some slightly less trivial refactoring, mostly to reduce code
duplication by embedding types instead of writing many explicit
forwarders.
- Cleaned up the interface structure a bit. (Most significant probably
the removal of the View-like methods from MetricPersistenc. Now they
are only in View and not duplicated anymore.)
- Removed dead code. (Probably not all of it, but it's a first
step...)
- Fixed a leftover in storage/metric/end_to_end_test.go (that made
some parts of the code never execute (incidentally, those parts
were broken (and I fixed them, too))).

Problem description:
====================
If a rule evaluation referencing a metric/timeseries M happens at a time
when M doesn't have a memory timeseries yet, looking up the fingerprint
for M (via TieredStorage.GetMetricForFingerprint()) will create a new
Metric object for M which gets both: a) attached to a new empty memory
timeseries (so we don't have to ask disk for the Metric's fingerprint
next time), and b) returned to the rule evaluation layer. However, the
rule evaluation layer replaces the name label (and possibly other
labels) of the metric with the name of the recorded rule. Since both
the rule evaluator and the memory storage share a reference to the same
Metric object, the original memory timeseries will now also be
incorrectly renamed.
Fix:
====
Instead of storing a reference to a shared metric object, take a copy of
the object when creating an empty memory timeseries for caching
purposes.

So far we've been using Go's native time.Time for anything related to sample
timestamps. Since the range of time.Time is much bigger than what we need, this
has created two problems:
- there could be time.Time values which were out of the range/precision of the
time type that we persist to disk, therefore causing incorrectly ordered keys.
One bug caused by this was:
https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/367
It would be good to use a timestamp type that's more closely aligned with
what the underlying storage supports.
- sizeof(time.Time) is 192, while Prometheus should be ok with a single 64-bit
Unix timestamp (possibly even a 32-bit one). Since we store samples in large
numbers, this seriously affects memory usage. Furthermore, copying/working
with the data will be faster if it's smaller.
*MEMORY USAGE RESULTS*
Initial memory usage comparisons for a running Prometheus with 1 timeseries and
100,000 samples show roughly a 13% decrease in total (VIRT) memory usage. In my
tests, this advantage for some reason decreased a bit the more samples the
timeseries had (to 5-7% for millions of samples). This I can't fully explain,
but perhaps garbage collection issues were involved.
*WHEN TO USE THE NEW TIMESTAMP TYPE*
The new clientmodel.Timestamp type should be used whenever time
calculations are either directly or indirectly related to sample
timestamps.
For example:
- the timestamp of a sample itself
- all kinds of watermarks
- anything that may become or is compared to a sample timestamp (like the timestamp
passed into Target.Scrape()).
When to still use time.Time:
- for measuring durations/times not related to sample timestamps, like duration
telemetry exporting, timers that indicate how frequently to execute some
action, etc.
*NOTE ON OPERATOR OPTIMIZATION TESTS*
We don't use operator optimization code anymore, but it still lives in
the code as dead code. It still has tests, but I couldn't get all of them to
pass with the new timestamp format. I commented out the failing cases for now,
but we should probably remove the dead code soon. I just didn't want to do that
in the same change as this.

This commit fixes a critique of the old storage API design, whereby
the input parameters were always as raw bytes and never Protocol
Buffer messages that encapsulated the data, meaning every place a
