* docs: make `httpAuth.*` flags description less ambiguous
Currently, it may confuse users whether `httpAuth.*` flags are used by HTTP client or server configuration(see https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4586 for example).

- Clarify docs about -replicationFactor command-line flag at vmselect
- Clarify description for -replicationFactor and -search.skipSlowReplicas command-line flags
- Fix the logic for returning responses if -search.skipSlowReplicas command-line flag
is enabled. The logic was broken in the 173ccf4333,
so it could return responses only if some of vmstorage nodes return error,
while it should return when query results are successfully collected from more than
(len(storageNodes) - replicationFactor) vmstorage nodes.

* vmselect: introduce `search.skipSlowReplicas` cmd-line flag
vmselect has two logical conditions during request processing when
`-replicationFactor` cmd-line flag is set:
1. If at least `len(storageNodes) - replicationFactor` responded, it could skip
waiting for the rest of nodes to respond. This could lead to problems described
here https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1207.
2. Mark response as partial if less than `len(storageNodes) - replicationFactor` responded
without an error.
The P1 showed itself error-prone and became the main reason why
`-replicationFactor` wasn't recommended to use at vmselect level.
However, this optimization could be still very useful in situations
when there are slow and fast replicas in cluster.
But P2 remains viable and important conditionless.
Hiding P1 behind the feature-flag `search.skipSlowReplicas`
should make `-replicationFactor` flag usable again. And let users
choose whether they want P1 to be respected.

Introduce `-http.maxConcurrentRequests` command-line flag to protect

By default, the new flag's value is set to 0 which means no limits are applied.

Improperly configured -bigMergeConcurrency command-line flag usually leads to uncontrolled
growth of unmerged parts, which, in turn, increases CPU usage and query durations.
So it is better deprecating this flag. In rare cases -smallMergeConcurrency command-line flag
can be used instead for controlling the concurrency of background merges.
- Use flag.Duration instead of flagutil.Duration for -snapshotCreateTimeout,
since the flagutil.Duration is intended mostly for big durations, e.g. days, months and years,
while the -snapshotCreateTimeout is usually smaller than one hour.
- Add links to https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#how-to-work-with-snapshots in docs/CHANGELOG.md,
so readers could easily find the corresponding docs when reading the changelog.
- Properly remove all the created directories on unsuccessful attempt to create
snapshot in Storage.CreateSnapshot().

* vmselect/promql: check for deadline in `count_values` fn
`count_values` could be very slow during the data processing.
Checking for deadline between iterations supposed to reduce
probability of exceeding `search.maxQueryDuration`.
The change also adds a new trace record, which captures the time
spent in aggregation function. Before that, the trace for aggr funcs
could be confusing since it doesn't account for all the places where
time was spent.

While at it, stop sending requests to unavailable backend for 3 seconds
before the next attempt. This should reduce the amounts of useless work
and the number of useless network packets when the backend is temporarily unavailable.
docs: clarifications between standalone/cluster ingestion endpoints
This is an attempt to make it a bit clearer to the user that the cluster version ingestion URLs are different from the standalone ones. I have also changed the order of the list items to make it a bit clearer and hopefully stop the user simply inferring that `/prometheus/api/v1` is only related to Prometheus data.
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.
This should prevent from out of memory errors when big number of vmselect
nodes send many concurrent requests to vmstorage
The limit can be controlled at vmstorage via the following command-line flags:
- search.maxConcurrentRequests
- search.maxQueueDuration
See https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.html#resource-usage-limits
support overriding of `-search.latencyOffset` value via
URL param `latency_offset`.

The searchTSIDs function was searching for metricIDs matching the the given tag filters
and then was locating the corresponding TSID entries for the found metricIDs.
The TSID entries aren't needed when searching for time series names (aka MetricName),
so this commit removes the uneeded TSID search from the implementation of /api/v1/series API.
This improves perfromance of /api/v1/series calls.
This commit also improves performance a bit for /api/v1/query and /api/v1/query_range calls,
since now these calls cache small metricIDs instead of big TSID entries
in the indexdb/tagFilters cache (now this cache is named indexdb/tagFiltersToMetricIDs)
without the need to compress the saved entries in order to save cache space.
This commit also removes concurrency limiter during searching for matching time series,
which was introduced in 8f16388428, since the concurrency
for all the read queries is already limited with -search.maxConcurrentRequests command-line flag.

These metrics allow alerting when the number of unique series approach the limit.
For example, the following query alerts when the number of series reaches 90% of the configured limit:
vm_hourly_series_limit_current_series / vm_hourly_series_limit_max_series > 0.9
Flags `-search.maxTagKeys` and `-search.maxTagValues` are present at vmstorage and not at vmselect
```
-search.maxTagKeys int
-search.maxTagValues int
```
* deployment/docker: pass `-buildvs=false` to `go build` for production builds

This option allows reducing CPU usage a bit when VictoriaMetrics is used
for collecting and processing non-Prometheus data. For example, InfluxDB line protocol, Graphite, OpenTSDB, CSV, etc.
* Rename -search.maxMetricsPointSearch to -search.maxSamplesPerQuery, so it is more consistent with the existing -search.maxSamplesPerSeries
* Move the -search.maxSamplesPerQuery from vmstorage to vmselect, so it could effectively limit the number of raw samples obtained from all the vmstorage nodes
* Document the -search.maxSamplesPerQuery in docs/CHANGELOG.md
This should improve the readability and usefullness of the /api/v1/status/top_queries when debugging slow queries
or queries that take too much cpu time.
