metricsql: support optional 2nd argument for rollup functions (#3841)

Browse Source 
* metricsql: support optional 2nd argument for rollup functions

Support optional 2nd argument `min`, `max` or `avg` for rollup functions:
 * rollup
 * rollup_delta
 * rollup_deriv
 * rollup_increase
 * rollup_rate
 * rollup_scrape_interval

 If second argument is passed, then rollup function will return only the selected aggregation type.
 This change can be useful for situations where only one type of rollup calculation is needed.
 For example, `rollup_rate(requests_total[5m], "max")`.

@ -26,6 +26,8 @@ The following tip changes can be tested by building VictoriaMetrics components f
* FEATURE: [vmauth](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmauth.html): choose the backend with the minimum number of concurrently executed requests [among the configured backends](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmauth.html#load-balancing) in a round-robin manner for serving the incoming requests. This allows spreading the load among backends more evenly, while improving the response time.
* FEATURE: [vmalert enterprise](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html): add ability to read alerting and recording rules from S3, GCS or S3-compatible object storage. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html#reading-rules-from-object-storage).
* FEATURE: [vmctl](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmctl.html): automatically retry requests to remote storage if up to 5 errors occur during the data migration process. This should help continuing the data migration process on temporary errors. Previously `vmctl` was stopping after the first error. See [this feature request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3600).
* FEATURE: [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html): support optional 2nd argument `min`, `max` or `avg` for [rollup](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#rollup), [rollup_delta](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#rollup_delta), [rollup_deriv](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#rollup_deriv), [rollup_increase](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#rollup_increase), [rollup_rate](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#rollup_rate) and [rollup_scrape_interval](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#rollup_scrape_interval) function. If the second argument is passed, then the function returns only the selected aggregation type. This change can be useful for situations where only one type of rollup calculation is needed. For example, `rollup_rate(requests_total[1i], "max")` would return only the max increase rates for `requests_total` metric per each interval between adjacent points on the graph. See [this article](https://valyala.medium.com/why-irate-from-prometheus-doesnt-capture-spikes-45f9896d7832) for details.
* FEATURE: [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html): support optional 2nd argument `open`, `low`, `high`, `close` for [rollup_candlestick](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#rollup_candlestick) function. If the second argument is passed, then the function returns only the selected aggregation type.
* FEATURE: [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html): add [share(q)](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#share) aggregate function.
* FEATURE: [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html): add `mad_over_time(m[d])` function for calculating the [median absolute deviation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_absolute_deviation) over raw samples on the lookbehind window `d`. See [this feature request](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/5514).
* FEATURE: [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html): add `range_mad(q)` function for calculating the [median absolute deviation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_absolute_deviation) over points per each time series returned by `q`.

* FEATURE: [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html): add `range_trim_outliers(k, q)` function for dropping outliers located farther than `k*range_mad(q)` from the `range_median(q)`. This should help removing outliers during query time at [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3759).
* FEATURE: [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html): add `range_trim_zscore(z, q)` function for dropping outliers located farther than `z*range_stddev(q)` from `range_avg(q)`. This should help removing outliers during query time at [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3759).
* FEATURE: [vmui](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#vmui): show `median` instead of `avg` in graph tooltip and line legend, since `median` is more tolerant against spikes. See [this issue](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3706).
* FEATURE: [vmui](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#vmui): small UX improvements for mobile view. See [this feature request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3707) and [this pull request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/3848).
* FEATURE: add `-search.logQueryMemoryUsage` command-line flag for logging queries, which need more memory than specified by this command-line flag. See [this feature request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3553). Thanks to @michal-kralik for the idea and the intial implementation.
* FEATURE: allow setting zero value for `-search.latencyOffset` command-line flag. This may be needed in [some cases](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2061#issuecomment-1299109836). Previously the minimum supported value for `-search.latencyOffset` command-line flag was `1s`.
