Previously, vmalert would print an err message and set vmalert_config_last_reload_successful=0
only once during a hot reload of a bad config. Such behaviour may result into non noticed
event of a bad config reload attempt
Now, it continues to print error messages and keep vmalert_config_last_reload_successful state
until successful attempt will be made or config state will be rolled back to prev state.

For a long time notifier.Addr flag was required. The assumption was that vmalert will
be always used for alerting. However, practice shows that some users need only
recording rules. In this case, requirement of notifier.Addr is ambigious.
The change verifies if loaded config contains recording or alerting rules and
if there are corresponding flags set. This is true for initial config load
and hot reload.

This removes the unneeded level of indirection and improves code readability.
The "prometheus" and "graphite" constants aren't going to change in the future, so there is no sense in hiding them behind constants.
Previously only the lower part of 64-bit hash was used for calculating the offset.
This may give uneven distribution in some cases. So let's use all the available 64 bits from the hash
for calculating the offset.
Prometheus allows to have groups with no rules, so we should support
it in vmalert as well for compatibility reasons.
It is also allowed to hot-reload empty groups by adding or removing rules.

Previously, ID for alert entity was generated without alertname or groupname.
This led to collision, when multiple alerting rules within the same group
producing same labelsets. E.g. expr: `sum(metric1) by (job) > 0` and
expr: `sum(metric2) by (job) > 0` could result into same labelset `job: "job"`.
The issue affects only UI and Web API parts of vmalert, because alert ID is used
only for displaying and finding active alerts. It does not affect state restore
procedure, since this label was added right before pushing to remote storage.
The change now adds all extra labels right after receiving response from the datasource.
And removes adding extra labels before pushing to remote storage.
Additionally, change introduces a new flag `Restored` which will be displayed in UI
for alerts which have been restored from remote storage on restart.
Commit fixes potential race condition when group update
and generating of ID() happens simultaneously.

Regression was introduced during code refactoring. It potentially
could lead to situation when SIGHUP signals were ignored while
vmalert was still busy with initing group manager.

The extra `/` may cause issues when additional path prefixes
are configured. Also, removing it makes it consistent
with the rest of declarations.

* vmalert: adjust `http.Transport.MaxIdleConns` value accordingly to `http.Transport.MaxIdleConnsPerHost`
`http.Transport.MaxIdleConnsPerHost` setting is controlled by `datasource.maxIdleConnections` flag,
while `http.Transport.MaxIdleConns` is inherited from DefaultTransport and is equal to `100`.
The fix adjusts `http.Transport.MaxIdleConns` value if it is lower than `http.Transport.MaxIdleConnsPerHost`.

The source link is controlled by `external.url` and `external.alert.source`
flags, in the same way as for alertmanager notifications.
The source link is added to Alerts list view, and specific Alert view.
`omitempty` tag resulted into skipping this param on marshaling,
which was used as a checksum for groups configuration. Since on
config reload checksums are compared before applying changes,
any change to `interval` only didn't trigger config reload.

* vmalert: add flag to limit the max value for auto-resovle duration for alerts
The new flag `rule.maxResolveDuration` suppose to limit max value for
alert.End param, which is used by notifiers like Alertmanager for alerts auto resolve.

New UI pages:
/ - welcome page with API handlers list;
/groups - list of all rules per group;
/alerts - list of all active alerts;
/groupID/alertID/status - status of the active alert;
* vmalert: allow extra GET params in datasource package
ExtraParams will be added as GET params to every HTTP request made by datasource.
The `roundDigits` param, for example, was substituted by corresponding extra param.
* vmalert: add nocache=1 param for replay process
The `nocache=1` param is VictoriaMetrics specific parameter which prevents it
from caching and boundaries aligning for queries. We set it to avoid cache
pollution in `replay` mode and also to avoid unnecessary time range boundaries
alignment.
* vmalert: mention nocache=1 in replay description
* vmalert: fix bug with unused param
* vmalert: remove `vmalert_execution_duration_seconds` metric
The summary for `vmalert_execution_duration_seconds` metric gives no additional
value comparing to `vmalert_iteration_duration_seconds` metric.
* vmalert: update config reload success metric properly
Previously, if there was unsuccessfull attempt to reload config and then
rollback to previous version - the metric remained set to 0.
* vmalert: add Grafana dashboard to overview application metrics
* docker: include vmalert target into list for scraping
* vmalert: extend notifier metrics with addr label
The change adds an `addr` label to metrics for alerts_sent and alerts_send_errors
to identify which exact address is having issues.
The according change was made to vmalert dashboard.
* vmalert: update documentation and docker environment for vmalert's dashboard
Mention Grafana's dashboard in vmalert's README in a new section #Monitoring.
Update docker-compose env to automatically add vmalert's dashboard.
Update docker-compose README with additional info about services.
* vmalert: allow to disable automatically added path to remote write address via disablePathAppend flag
* docs: update docs to include remoteWrite.disablePathAppend
* vmalert: expose new metrics for tracking number of produced samples during last evaluation
Two new metrics were added to track the number of samples produced during the last evaluation:
* vmalert_recording_rules_last_evaluation_samples
* vmalert_alerting_rules_last_evaluation_samples
The gauge type is used to remain consistent with Prometheus metric
`prometheus_rule_group_last_evaluation_samples` which is on the group level.
However, the counter type was considered as well.
Two metrics instead of one are used to make it easier to separate recording and
alerting rules. It is likely, number of samples produced by recording rules is
more important so people will refer to it more frequently.
The expected usage of the new metric is the following:
```
- alert: RecordingRuleReturnsEmptyResults
expr: sum(vmalert_recording_rules_last_evaluation_samples) by(recording) < 1
annotations:
summary: Recording rule {{$labels.recording}} returns empty results.
Please verify expression correctness.
```
