- Rename GetStatDialFunc to NewStatDialFunc, since it returns new function with every call
- NewStatDialFunc isn't related to http in any way, so it must be moved from lib/httputils to lib/netutil
- Simplify the implementation of NewStatDialFunc by removing sync.Map from there.
- Use netutil.NewStatDialFunc at app/vmauth and lib/promscrape/discoveryutils
- Use gauge instead of counter type for *_conns metric

Previously netstorage.MustStop() call didn't free up all the resources,
so the subsequent call to nestorage.Init() would panic.
This allows writing tests, which call nestorage.Init() + nestorage.MustStop() in a loop.
Previously the duration for graceful shutdown for http server could take more than a minute
because of imporperly set timeouts in setNetworkTimeout.
Now typical duration for graceful shutdown should be reduced to less than 5 seconds.
