* Add basic initial developer docs for TSDB
There's a decent amount of content already out there (blog posts,
conference talks, etc), but:
* when they get stale, they don't tend to get updated
* they still leave me with questions that I'ld like to answer
for developers (like me) who want to use, or work with, TSDB
What I propose is developer docs inside the prometheus
repository. Easy to find and harness the power of the community
to expand it and keep it up to date.
* perfect is the enemy of good. Let's have a base and incrementally improve
* Markdown docs should be broad but not too deep. Source code comments
can complement them, and are the ideal place for implementation details.

This is to avoid copying the many fields of a histogram.Histogram all
the time.
This also fixes a bunch of formerly broken tests.

This creates a new `model` directory and moves all data-model related
packages over there:
exemplar labels relabel rulefmt textparse timestamp value
All the others are more or less utilities and have been moved to `util`:

* TSDB: demistify seriesRefs and ChunkRefs
The TSDB package contains many types of series and chunk references,
all shrouded in uint types. Often the same uint value may
actually mean one of different types, in non-obvious ways.
This PR aims to clarify the code and help navigating to relevant docs,
usage, etc much quicker.
Concretely:
* Use appropriately named types and document their semantics and
relations.
* Make multiplexing and demuxing of types explicit
(on the boundaries between concrete implementations and generic
interfaces).
* Casting between different types should be free. None of the changes
should have any impact on how the code runs.

A lot of this code was hacked together, literally during a
hackathon. This commit intends not to change the code substantially,
but just make the code obey the usual style practices.
A (possibly incomplete) list of areas:
* Generally address linter warnings.
* The `pgk` directory is deprecated as per dev-summit. No new packages should
be added to it. I moved the new `pkg/histogram` package to `model`
anticipating what's proposed in #9478.
* Make the naming of the Sparse Histogram more consistent. Including
abbreviations, there were just too many names for it: SparseHistogram,
Histogram, Histo, hist, his, shs, h. The idea is to call it "Histogram" in
general. Only add "Sparse" if it is needed to avoid confusion with
conventional Histograms (which is rare because the TSDB really has no notion
of conventional Histograms). Use abbreviations only in local scope, and then
really abbreviate (not just removing three out of seven letters like in
"Histo"). This is in the spirit of
https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/CodeReviewComments#variable-names
* Several other minor name changes.
* A lot of formatting of doc comments. For one, following
https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/CodeReviewComments#comment-sentences
, but also layout question, anticipating how things will look like
when rendered by `godoc` (even where `godoc` doesn't render them
right now because they are for unexported types or not a doc comment
at all but just a normal code comment - consistency is queen!).
* Re-enabled `TestQueryLog` and `TestEndopints` (they pass now,
leaving them disabled was presumably an oversight).
* Bucket iterator for histogram.Histogram is now created with a
method.
* HistogramChunk.iterator now allows iterator recycling. (I think
@dieterbe only commented it out because he was confused by the
question in the comment.)
* HistogramAppender.Append panics now because we decided to treat
staleness marker differently.

This saves memory, effort and locking.
Since every symbol is also added to postings, `Symbols()` can be
implemented there instead. This now has to build a map for
deduplication, but `Symbols()` is only called for compaction, and `gc()`
used to rebuild the symbols map after every compaction so not an
additional cost.
