* deployment: create a separate env for VictoriaLogs
The new environment consists of the following components:
* VictoriaLogs
* fluentbit for collecting logs and sending to VictoriaLogs
* VictoriaMetrics for scraping and storing metrics from fluentbit and VictoriaLogs
* Grafana with VictoriaLogs datasource for monitoring
-----------------
The motivation for creating a separate environment is to simplify existing environments
and make it easier to update or modify them in future.

Currently the docker-compose examples for loading `victoriametrics-datasource` uses 2 environment variables:
- `GF_ALLOW_LOADING_UNSIGNED_PLUGINS`
- `GF_DEFAULT_APP_MODE`
I believe both of the env vars are trying to achieve the same thing. `GF_DEFAULT_APP_MODE` disables code signing for all plugins and `GF_ALLOW_LOADING_UNSIGNED_PLUGINS` intends to disable code signing for just `victoriametrics-datasource`.
Keeping the scope narrowed to just `victoriametrics-datasource` would be preferable in this case.
Unfortunately `GF_ALLOW_LOADING_UNSIGNED_PLUGINS` is misspelled. According to [grafana docs](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/setup-grafana/configure-grafana/#override-configuration-with-environment-variables), the format is supposed to be `GF_<SectionName>_<KeyName>`. In other words the current env var is missing the section name.
This PR proposes to:
1. fix the typo
2. remove the global disablement of code signing
Alternatively, if you prefer to keep codesigning disabled globally, please remove `GF_ALLOW_LOADING_UNSIGNED_PLUGINS` env var as it confuses things
* - apply v1.10 changes
- chapter on model types (uni/multivariate and rolling)
* - update self-monitoring labels description
- fix typos
* fix duplicated text and link rendering
During background downsampling, rate(vm_deduplicated_samples_total{type="merge"}) could be much bigger than
rate(vm_rows_added_to_storage_total) and it could last quite some time,
which causes negative values of Storage full ETA and confuses users, see playground.
Instead of trying to get more accurate results during downsampling, I think it's ok to ignore
vm_deduplicated_samples_total at all, it's more reasonable to see Storage full ETA increase after downsampling.

Each Grafana dashboard has unique ID which can be used to fetch the dashboard
from grafana.com: https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/11176
The same dashboard can be accessed via URL with slug: https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/11176-victoriametrics-cluster/
But using slug implies that any change to dashboard name will break the link.
So it is better to just use ID, so the dashboard URL will never break.

Aggregations with by() have one sideeffect, that any custom labels you add to hosts are dropped too which can be used for alerts routing.
Therefore, some good practice could be to use without() instead, with labels, like without(path) , or without(url) to get same aggregations but with any external labels left intact.

evaulations due to slow queries.

- Parse protobuf if Content-Type isn't set to `application/json` - this behavior is documented at https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/api/#push-log-entries-to-loki
- Properly handle gzip'ped JSON requests. The `gzip` header must be read from `Content-Encoding` instead of `Content-Type` header
- Properly flush all the parsed logs with the explicit call to vlstorage.MustAddRows() at the end of query handler
- Check JSON field types more strictly.
- Allow parsing Loki timestamp as floating-point number. Such a timestamp can be generated by some clients,
which store timestamps in float64 instead of int64.
- Optimize parsing of Loki labels in Prometheus text exposition format.
- Simplify tests.
- Remove lib/slicesutil, since there are no more users for it.
- Update docs with missing info and fix various typos. For example, it should be enough to have `instance` and `job` labels
as stream fields in most Loki setups.
- Allow empty of missing timestamps in the ingested logs.
The current timestamp at VictoriaLogs side is then used for the ingested logs.
This simplifies debugging and testing of the provided HTTP-based data ingestion APIs.
The remaining MAJOR issue, which needs to be addressed: victoria-logs binary size increased from 13MB to 22MB
after adding support for Loki data ingestion protocol at https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/4482 .
This is because of shitty protobuf dependencies. They must be replaced with another protobuf implementation
similar to the one used at lib/prompb or lib/prompbmarshal .

Previously the -maxConcurrentInserts was limiting the number of established client connections,
which write data to VictoriaMetrics. Some of these connections could be idle.
Such connections do not consume big amounts of CPU and RAM, so there is a little sense in limiting
the number of such connections. So now the -maxConcurrentInserts command-line option
limits the number of concurrently executed insert requests, not including idle connections.
It is recommended removing -maxConcurrentInserts command-line option, since the default value
for this option should work good for most cases.
Alert `RequestErrorsToAPI` could be permanently triggered due to
mistakes in clients configuration. However, such requests are unlikely
to cause VM health state change. So there is no need in displaying
this alert because there will be no correlation caused by it.

The purpose of the update is to make the dash more usable
for large installations with many instances. Panels which showed
metrics per-instance (Mem, CPU) now are showing metrics per-job or min/max/avg
aggregations in % instead. This supposed to help immediately to identify
resource shortage and remain usable for small and big installations.
For cases when detailed info is needed, to the bottom of the dashboard
a new row `Drilldown` was added. Panels like Mem or CPU now contain
a `data-link` named `Drilldown` (cis shown on line click) which takes
user to more detailed panel.

Previously the `quotesEscape` function was escaping only double quotes.
This wasn't enough, since the input string could contain other special chars,
which must be escaped when put inside JSON string. For example, carriage return and line feed chars (\n\r),
backslash char, etc. This led to the following issues, which were improperly fixed:
- https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/890 - this issue
was "fixed" by introducing the `crlfEscape` function, which led to unnecessary
complications in user templates, while not fixing various corner cases
such as backslash chars in the input string.
See 1de15ad490
- https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3139 - this issue
was "fixed" by urlencoding the whole string passed to -external.alert.source
command-line flag. This led to invalid urls, which couldn't be parsed by Grafana.
See 00c838353d
and 4bd0244599
This commit properly encodes the input string passed to `quotesEscape`, so it can be safely embedded inside JSON strings.
This commit deprecates crlfEscape template function and adds the following new template functions:
- strvalue and stripDomain - these functions are supported by Prometheus, so they were added
for compatibility purposes.
- jsonEscape and htmlEscape for converting the input string to valid quoted JSON string
and for html-escaping the input string, so it could be safely embedded as a plaintext
into html.
This commit also documents all supported template functions at https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html#template-functions
The deprecated crlfEscape function isn't documented on purpose, since its usefulness is negative in general case.
Cluster components always have `-cluster` suffix. The change fixes
incorrect image tag in docker-compose manifest.
