lib/promscrape: reduce memory and CPU usage when Prometheus staleness tracking is enabled for metrics from deleted / disappeared scrape targets

Store the scraped response body instead of storing the parsed and relabeld metrics.
This should reduce memory usage, since the response body takes less memory than the parsed and relabeled metrics.
This is especially true for Kubernetes service discovery, which adds many long labels for all the scraped metrics.

This should also reduce CPU usage, since the marshaling of the parsed
and relabeld metrics has been substituted by response body copying.

## tip
* FEATURE: vmagent: reduce memory usage and CPU usage when Prometheus staleness tracking is enabled for metrics exported from the deleted or disappeared scrape targets.
* FEATURE: take into account failed queries in `vm_request_duration_seconds` summary at `/metrics`. Previously only successful queries were taken into account. This could result in skewed summary. See [this pull request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/1537).
* FEATURE: vmalert: add `-disableAlertgroupLabel` command-line flag for disabling the label with alert group name. This may be needed for proper deduplication in Alertmanager. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1532).
