This change will only be submitted when the new client_golang has been
moved to the new version.

Julius Volz 01f652cb4c Separate storage implementation from interfaces.
This was initially motivated by wanting to distribute the rule checker
tool under `tools/rule_checker`. However, this was not possible without
also distributing the LevelDB dynamic libraries because the tool
transitively depended on Levigo:

rule checker -> query layer -> tiered storage layer -> leveldb

This change separates external storage interfaces from the
implementation (tiered storage, leveldb storage, memory storage) by
putting them into separate packages:

- storage/metric: public, implementation-agnostic interfaces
- storage/metric/tiered: tiered storage implementation, including memory
                         and LevelDB storage.

I initially also considered splitting up the implementation into
separate packages for tiered storage, memory storage, and LevelDB
storage, but these are currently so intertwined that it would be another
major project in itself.

The query layers and most other parts of Prometheus now have notion of
the storage implementation anymore and just use whatever implementation
they get passed in via interfaces.

The rule_checker is now a static binary :)

Julius Volz 740d448983 Use custom timestamp type for sample timestamps and related code.
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.

Conor Hennessy eba01d1119 Remove usage of gorest.
Due to on going issues, we've decided to remove gorest. It started with gorest
not being thread-safe (it does introspection to create a new handler which is
an easy process to mess up with multiple threads of execution):
    https://code.google.com/p/gorest/issues/detail?id=15
While the issue has been marked fixed, it looks like the patch has introduced
more problems than the original issue and simply doesn't work properly.
I'm not sure the behaviour was thought through properly. If a new instance is
needed every request then a handler-factory is needed or the library needs to
set expectations about how the new objects should interact with their
constructor state.
While it was tempting to try out another routing library, I think for now
it's better to use dumb vanilla Go routing. At least until we decide which
URL format we intend to standardize on.

Julius Volz 51689d965d Add debug timers to instant and range queries.
This adds timers around several query-relevant code blocks. For now, the
query timer stats are only logged for queries initiated through the UI.
In other cases (rule evaluations), the stats are simply thrown away.

My hope is that this helps us understand where queries spend time,
especially in cases where they sometimes hang for unusual amounts of
time.

Matt T. Proud e86f4d9dfd Convert time readers to represent time in UTC.
Go's time.Time represents time as UTC in its fundamental data type.
That said, when using ``time.Unix(...)``, it sets the zone for the
time representation to the local.  Unfortunately with diagnosis and
our tests, it is a PITA to jump between various zones, even though
the serialized version remains the same.

To keep things easy, all places where times are generated or read
are converted into UTC.  These conversions are cheap, for
``Time.In`` merely changes a pointer reference in the struct,
nothing more.  This enables me to diagnose test failures with fixture
data very easily.

This roughly comprises the following changes:

- index target pools by job instead of scrape interval
- make targets within a pool exchangable while preserving existing
  health state for targets
- allow exchanging targets via HTTP API (PUT)
- show target lists in /status (experimental, for own debug use)
