When using Kubernetes on cloud providers, nodes will have the
spec.providerID field populated to contain the cloud provider specific
name of the EC2/GCE/... instance.
Let's expose this information as an additional label, so that it's
easier to annotate metrics and alerts to contain the cloud provider
specific name of the instance to which it pertains.

* remote-write: slow down retries to avoid DDOS
Increase the default max retry time from 100ms to 5 seconds.
Remote write calls are retried after a recoverable error such as the
back-end returning 500. Prometheus waits the minimum time and retries,
then doubles the wait on each subsequent retry until the maximum is
reached.
If some data is still getting through, remote-write will also increase
shards, and the default maximum is 200. 200 shards sending every 100ms
is 20 calls per second, to a back-end that is already in trouble.
5 seconds was chosen to match the default BatchSendDeadline: if we can
afford to wait that long for no response, then we can wait the same time
to retry. We will reach 5 seconds after 9 successive failures.

* optimize Linode SD by polling for event changes during refresh
Most accounts are fairly "static", in the sense that they're not cycling
through instances constantly. So rather than do a full refresh every
interval and potentially make several behind-the-scenes paginated API
calls, this will now poll the `/account/events/` endpoint every minute
with a list of events that we care about. If a matching event is found,
we then do a full refresh.

* scrape: add label limits per scrape
Add three new limits to the scrape configuration to provide some
mechanism to defend against unbound number of labels and excessive
label lengths. If any of these limits are broken by a sample from a
scrape, the whole scrape will fail. For all of these configuration
options, a zero value means no limit.
The `label_limit` configuration will provide a mechanism to bound the
number of labels per-scrape of a certain sample to a user defined limit.
This limit will be tested against the sample labels plus the discovery
labels, but it will exclude the __name__ from the count since it is a
mandatory Prometheus label to which applying constraints isn't
meaningful.
The `label_name_length_limit` and `label_value_length_limit` will
prevent having labels of excessive lengths. These limits also skip the
__name__ label for the same reasons as the `label_limit` option and will
also make the scrape fail if any sample has a label name/value length
that exceed the predefined limits.

One of our users today asked us if dashes were allowed in recording rule names.
We asserted that they were not, but also that we could not remember for certain.
After determining empirically that they are _not_ allowed, I realized that the
documentation could be slightly clearer about valid rule names.
This PR simply adds a note to the documentation re-iterating that the rules must
be valid metric names - and more importantly, adds a link to where a user can
read what those *are*, in case they were not aware (or did not know where to find it).

This adds support for basic authentication which closes#3090
The support for specifying the client timeout was removed as discussed in https://github.com/prometheus/common/pull/123. Marathon was the only sd mechanism doing this and configuring the timeout is done through `Context`.
DC/OS uses a custom `Authorization` header for authenticating. This adds 2 new configuration properties to reflect this.
Existing configuration files that use the bearer token will no longer work. More work is required to make this backwards compatible.
* consul: improve consul service discovery
Related to #3711
- Add the ability to filter by tag and node-meta in an efficient way (`/catalog/services`
allow filtering by node-meta, and returns a `map[string]string` or `service`->`tags`).
Tags and nore-meta are also used in `/catalog/service` requests.
- Do not require a call to the catalog if services are specified by name. This is important
because on large cluster `/catalog/services` changes all the time.
- Add `allow_stale` configuration option to do stale reads. Non-stale
reads can be costly, even more when you are doing them to a remote
datacenter with 10k+ targets over WAN (which is common for federation).
- Add `refresh_interval` to minimize the strain on the catalog and on the
service endpoint. This is needed because of that kind of behavior from
consul: https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/3712 and because a catalog
on a large cluster would basically change *all* the time. No need to discover
targets in 1sec if we scrape them every minute.
- Added plenty of unit tests.

Filtering by tag using relabel_configs uses **100kiB and 23kiB/s per service per job** and quite a lot of CPU. Also sends and additional *1Mbps* of traffic to consul.
Being a little bit smarter about this reduces the overhead quite a lot.
Limiting the number of `/catalog/services` queries per second almost removes the overhead of service discovery.
* consul: tweak `refresh_interval` behavior
`refresh_interval` now does what is advertised in the documentation,
there won't be more that one update per `refresh_interval`. It now
defaults to 30s (which was also the current waitTime in the consul query).
This also make sure we don't wait another 30s if we already waited 29s
in the blocking call by substracting the number of elapsed seconds.
Hopefully this will do what people expect it does and will be safer
for existing consul infrastructures.
There is currently no way to differentiate Windows instances from Linux
ones. This is needed when you have a mix of node_exporters /
wmi_exporters for OS-level metrics and you want to have them in separate
scrape jobs.
This change allows you to do just that. Example:
```
- job_name: 'node'
azure_sd_configs:
- <azure_sd_config>
relabel_configs:
- source_labels: [__meta_azure_machine_os_type]
regex: Linux
action: keep
```
The way the vendor'd AzureSDK provides to get the OsType is a bit
awkward - as far as I can tell, this information can only be gotten from
the startup disk. Newer versions of the SDK appear to improve this a
bit (by having OS information in the InstanceView), but the current way
still works.
The docs suggest that alert templating only works in the summary and
description annotation fields. Some testing and a review of the code
suggests this is no longer true and that you can template any
annotation field.
As discussed generally consider SDs as unstable, as realistically they
are never going to be. Drop the words "experimental/beta" from most
places in the docs, as users are getting the wrong impression from this.
For special remote read endpoints which have only data for specific
queries, it is desired to limit the number of queries sent to the
configured remote read endpoint to reduce latency and performance
overhead.
