promtool: backfill: allow configuring block duration (#8919)
* promtool: backfill: allow configuring block duration

When backfilling large amounts of data across long periods of time, it
may in certain circumstances be useful to use a longer block duration to
increase the efficiency and speed of the backfilling process. This patch
adds a flag --block-duration-power to allow a user to choose the power N
where the block duration is 2^(N+1)h.

* backfill: add messages to tests for clarity

When someone new breaks a test, seeing "expected: false, got: true" is
really not useful. A nice message helps here.

* backfill: test long block durations

A test that uses a long block duration to write bigger blocks is added.
The check to make sure all blocks are the default duration is removed.
