When the label name of a matcher contains non-standard characters, like
a dot, or starts with a digit, it should be quoted.
If it's not quoted, then `VectorSelector.String()` isn't a valid PromQL.

When `zeroOrOneCharacterStringMatcher` wach checking the input string,
it assumed that if there are more than one bytes, then there are more
than one runes, but that's not necessarily true.

The strings produced by these tests can run to thousands of characters,
which makes test logs difficult to read.

I was bored on a train and I spent some amount of time trying to scratch
some nanoseconds off the Labels.Compare when running with stringlabels.
I would be ashamed to admit the real amount of time I spent on it.
The worst thing is, I can't really explain why this is performing so
much better, and someone should re-run the benchmarks on their machine
to confirm that it's not something related to general relativity because
the train is moving. I also added some extra real-life benchmark cases
with longer labelsets (these aren't the longest we have in production,
but kubernetes labelsets are fairly common in Prometheus so I thought it
would be nice to have them).
My benchmarks show this diff:

Use a stack buffer to reduce memory allocations.
`Write(AppendQuote(AvailableBuffer` does not allocate or copy when
the buffer has sufficient space.
Also add a benchmark, with some refactoring.

The individual strings for label names and values are held in a table,
and each Labels value is a run of varint-encoded indexes into that table.
When creating new labels, a sync.Mutex is locked around reads and writes.
When reading labels, there is no locking because the table of strings
used by those labels is immutable.

The current implementation of `InternStrings` will only save memory
when the whole set of labels is identical to one already seen, and this
cannot happen in the one place it is called from in Prometheus,
remote-write, which already detects identical series.

This PR is a reference implementation of the proposal described in #10420.
In addition to what described in #10420, in this PR I've introduced labels.StableHash(). The idea is to offer an hashing function which doesn't change over time, and that's used by query sharding in order to get a stable behaviour over time. The implementation of labels.StableHash() is the hashing function used by Prometheus before stringlabels, and what's used by Grafana Mimir for query sharding (because built before stringlabels was a thing).
Follow up work
As mentioned in #10420, if this PR is accepted I'm also open to upload another foundamental piece used by Grafana Mimir query sharding to accelerate the query execution: an optional, configurable and fast in-memory cache for the series hashes.

This function is called very frequently when executing PromQL functions,
and we can do it much more efficiently inside Labels.
In the common case that `__name__` comes first in the labels, we simply
re-point to start at the next label, which is nearly free.
`DropMetricName` is now so cheap I removed the cache - benchmarks show
everything still goes faster.

Inline one call to `decodeString`, and skip decoding the value string
until we find a match for the name.
Do a quick check on the first character in each string,
and exit early if we've gone past - labels are sorted in order.
Also improve tests and benchmark:
* labels: test Get with varying lengths - it's not typical for Prometheus labels to all be the same length.
* extend benchmark with label not found

Instead of unpacking every individual string, we skip to the point
where there is a difference, going 8 bytes at a time where possible.

This is a minor cosmetical change, but my IDE (and I guess many of them)
nests `labels_string.go` under `labels.go` because it assumes it's the
file generated by the `stringer` tool, which follows that naming
pattern.

* labels: respect Set after Del in Builder
The implementations are not symmetric between `Set()` and `Del()`, so
we must be careful. Add tests for this, both in labels and in relabel
where the issue was reported.
Also make the slice implementation consistent re `slices.Contains`.

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.

Deleted labels are remembered, even if they were not in `base` or were
