This fixes handling of values bigger than 2GiB for the following command-line flags:
- -storage.minFreeDiskSpaceBytes
- -remoteWrite.maxDiskUsagePerURL
Blocked small merges may result into big number of small parts, which, in turn,
may result in increased CPU and memory usage during queries, since queries need to inspect
all the existing small parts.

The main purpose of this command-line flag is to increase the lifetime of low-end flash storage
with the limited number of write operations it can perform. Such flash storage is usually
installed on Raspberry PI or similar appliances.
For example, `-inmemoryDataFlushInterval=1h` reduces the frequency of disk write operations
to up to once per hour if the ingested one-hour worth of data fits the limit for in-memory data.
The in-memory data is searchable in the same way as the data stored on disk.
VictoriaMetrics automatically flushes the in-memory data to disk on graceful shutdown via SIGINT signal.
The in-memory data is lost on unclean shutdown (hardware power loss, OOM crash, SIGKILL).

Blocks outside the configured retention are eventually deleted during background merge.
But such blocks may reside in the storage for long time until background merge.
Previously VictoriaMetrics could spend additional CPU time on processing such blocks
during search queries. Now these blocks are skipped.
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.

This is OK, since the anchors are implicitly applied to the whole regexp.
This optimization should improve the speed for regexp series filters with explicit $ and ^ anchors.
For example, `{label="^(foo|bar)$"}`
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
ioutil.ReadAll is deprecated since Go1.16 - see https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.16#ioutil
VictoriaMetrics requires at least Go1.18, so it is OK to switch from ioutil.ReadAll to io.ReadAll.

The ioutil.{Read|Write}File is deprecated since Go1.16 -
see https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.16#ioutil
VictoriaMetrics needs at least Go1.18, so it is safe to remove ioutil usage

Previously the time series could be put into dateMetricIDCache without
registering in the per-day inverted index if GetOrCreateTSIDByName
finds TSID entry in the global index. This could lead to missing
series in query results.
The issue has been introduced in the commit 55e7afae3a,
which has been included in VictoriaMetrics v1.78.0
- show dates in human-readable format, e.g. 2022-05-07, instead of a numeric value
- limit the maximum length of queries and filters shown in trace messages
Previously SearchMetricNames was returning unmarshaled metric names.
This wasn't great for vmstorage, which should spend additional CPU time
for marshaling the metric names before sending them to vmselect.
While at it, remove possible duplicate metric names, which could occur when
multiple samples for new time series are ingested via concurrent requests.
Also sort the metric names before returning them to the client.
This simplifies debugging of the returned metric names across repeated requests to /api/v1/series
querytracer has been added to the following storage.Storage methods:
- RegisterMetricNames
- DeleteMetrics
- SearchTagValueSuffixes
- SearchGraphitePaths
The commit 5fb45173ae takes into account only newly registered series
when applying cardinality limits. This means that the cardinality limit could be exceeded with already registered series.
This commit returns back accounting for already registered series when applying cardinality limits.
Previously the creation of per-day indexes and global indexes
for the newly registered time series was decoupled.
Now global indexes and per-day indexes for the current day are created toghether for new time series.
This should speed up registering new time series a bit.
This allows filling the seriesCountByFocusLabelValue list in the /api/v1/status/tsdb response
with label values for the specified focusLabel, which contain the highest number of time series.

Workers count for merges affects the max part size during merges. Such behaviour
protects storage from running out of disk space for scenario when all workers
are merging parts with the max size.
This works very well for most cases. But for systems where high number of CPUs
is allocated for vmstorage components this could significantly impact the max
part size and result in more unmerged parts than expected.
While checking multiple production highly loaded setups it was discovered that
`max_over_time(vm_active_merges{type="storage/big}[1h]}"` rarely exceeds 2,
and `max_over_time(vm_active_merges{type="storage/small}[1h]}"` rarely exceeds 4.
The change in this commit limits the max value for concurrency accordingly.

- Postpone the pre-poulation to the last hour of the current day. This should reduce the number
of useless entries in the next per-day index, which shouldn't be created there,
when the corresponding time series are stopped to be pushed during the current day.
- Make the pre-population more smooth in time by using the hash of MetricID instead of MetricID itself
when calculating the need for for the given MetricID pre-population.
- Sync the logic for pre-population of the next day inverted index with the logic of pre-populating tsid cache
after indexdb rotation. This should improve code maintainability.

* lib/index: reduce read/write load after indexDB rotation
IndexDB in VM is responsible for storing TSID - ID's used for identifying
time series. The index is stored on disk and used by both ingestion and read path.
IndexDB is stored separately to data parts and is global for all stored data.
It can't be deleted partially as VM deletes data parts. Instead, indexDB is
rotated once in `retention` interval.
The rotation procedure means that `current` indexDB becomes `previous`,
and new freshly created indexDB struct becomes `current`. So in any time,
VM holds indexDB for current and previous retention periods.
When time series is ingested or queried, VM checks if its TSID is present
in `current` indexDB. If it is missing, it checks the `previous` indexDB.
If TSID was found, it gets copied to the `current` indexDB. In this way
`current` indexDB stores only series which were active during the retention
period.
To improve indexDB lookups, VM uses a cache layer called `tsidCache`. Both
write and read path consult `tsidCache` and on miss the relad lookup happens.
When rotation happens, VM resets the `tsidCache`. This is needed for ingestion
path to trigger `current` indexDB re-population. Since index re-population
requires additional resources, every index rotation event may cause some extra
load on CPU and disk. While it may be unnoticeable for most of the cases,
for systems with very high number of unique series each rotation may lead
to performance degradation for some period of time.
This PR makes an attempt to smooth out resource usage after the rotation.
The changes are following:
1. `tsidCache` is no longer reset after the rotation;
2. Instead, each entry in `tsidCache` gains a notion of indexDB to which
they belong;
3. On ingestion path after the rotation we check if requested TSID was
found in `tsidCache`. Then we have 3 branches:
3.1 Fast path. It was found, and belongs to the `current` indexDB. Return TSID.
3.2 Slow path. It wasn't found, so we generate it from scratch,
add to `current` indexDB, add it to `tsidCache`.
3.3 Smooth path. It was found but does not belong to the `current` indexDB.
In this case, we add it to the `current` indexDB with some probability.
The probability is based on time passed since the last rotation with some threshold.
The more time has passed since rotation the higher is chance to re-populate `current` indexDB.
The default re-population interval in this PR is set to `1h`, during which entries from
`previous` index supposed to slowly re-populate `current` index.
The new metric `vm_timeseries_repopulated_total` was added to identify how many TSIDs
were moved from `previous` indexDB to the `current` indexDB. This metric supposed to
grow only during the first `1h` after the last rotation.

Previously bytesutil.Resize() was copying the original byte slice contents to a newly allocated slice.
This wasted CPU cycles and memory bandwidth in some places, where the original slice contents wasn't needed
after slize resizing. Switch such places to bytesutil.ResizeNoCopy().
Rename the original bytesutil.Resize() function to bytesutil.ResizeWithCopy() for the sake of improved readability.
Additionally, allocate new slice with `make()` instead of `append()`. This guarantees that the capacity of the allocated slice
exactly matches the requested size. The `append()` could return a slice with bigger capacity as an optimization for further `append()` calls.
This could result in excess memory usage when the returned byte slice was cached (for instance, in lib/blockcache).
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2007
Previously these caches could exceed limits set via `-memory.allowedPercent` and/or `-memory.allowedBytes`,
since limits were set independently per each data part. If the number of data parts was big, then limits could be exceeded,
which could result to out of memory errors.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2007
For example, `{__graphite__=~"foo.(bar|baz)"}` is automatically converted to `{__graphite__=~"foo.{bar,baz}"}` before execution.
This allows using multi-value Grafana template variables such as `{__graphite__=~"foo.($app)"}`.
The vm_cache_size_max_bytes metric can be used for determining caches which reach their capacity via the following query:
vm_cache_size_bytes / vm_cache_size_max_bytes > 0.9

This reverts commit 7c6d3981bf.
Reason for revert: high contention at bucket16Pool on systems with big number of CPU cores.
This slows down query processing significantly.
This should reduce memory usage on systems with big number of CPU cores,
since every inmemoryPart object occupies at least 64KB of memory and sync.Pool maintains
a separate pool inmemoryPart objects per each CPU core.
Though the new scheme for the pool worsens per-cpu cache locality, this should be amortized
by big sizes of inmemoryPart objects.
Previously the stats for cache misses could be improperly counted, because it had inflated cache misses
if the entry was missing in the curr cache, but was existing in the prev cache.
The same applies to cache requests - they were inflated if the entry was missing in the curr cache.
One minute cache timeout result in slower queries in some production workloads where the interval
between query execution is in the range 1 minute - 2 minutes.
This should reduce memory usage on a system with high number of active time series and a high churn rate.
One minute is enough for caching the blocks needed for repeated queries (e.g. alerting rules, recording rules and dashboard refreshes).
These functions are non-trivial, while their code has minimal differences.
It is better from maintainability PoV to merge these functions into a single function.
