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 change list is the following:
* bump Grafana version to 9.2.6;
* replace old "Graph" panel with "TimeSeries" panel;
* show % usage of Mem and CPU additionally to of absolute values;
* `Caches` row was removed. All needed info for caches is now part of `Troubleshooting`;
* add Annotations for Alert triggers. Not all alerts are supposed to be displayed
on the dashboard, but only those with label `show_at: dashboard`.
See `alerts.yml` change.

* deployment/docker: move cluster compose env to master branch
The change supposed to simplify the process of maintaining for
single/cluster docker-compose envs, alerts, dashboards. It also
supposes to reduce confusion for users when looking for cluster
related alerts/configs.

The new metric `vmagent_remotewrite_queues` exports a static value of
number of configured remote write queus. This metric is useful to
calculate total saturation per each configured URL with given number
of queues. See corresponding changes to vmagent alerts and dashboard.

alerts: filter out non error log messages for `TooManyLogs`
Info and Warn error levels aren't always a result of malfunctioning
or faulty state. So we filter them out.
Lowering threshold from 50% to 5% will be more sufficient
for discovering un-healthy system state. It also goes in
sync with alert definition in cluster branch.

* dashboards/vmagent: add Troubleshooting row to show top 5 instances/jobs by churn rate
New panels are supposed to show top 5 jobs or targets which generate the most
of the churn rate. They were placed into a new row "Troubleshooting".

* dashboards/vmagent: add panels for showing persistent queue saturation
New panels were added to Torubleshooting row to show the persistent queue
saturation. The corresponding alerts were added and linked to these
panels as well.

* dashboards/vmagent: add alert "RejectedRemoteWriteDataBlocksAreDropped"
New alert suppose to send a notification when vmagent starts to drop
data blocks rejected by configured remote write destiantion.

* dasbhoard: replace `null` datasources
null datasource value may confuse Grafana and make it drop panel query in some
versions.
* docker: bump grafana image version
* dashboards: add URL variable selector to vmagent dashboard
* dashboards: add new panel `Remote write connection saturation` to vmagent dashboard
* alerts: add new alert for `Remote write connection saturation` panel of vmagent dashboard
* dashboards: add "Logging rate" panel to vmagent dashboard
Alert `TooHighChurnRate24h` suppose to cover cases when churn rate
is low but results in multiple times higher number than total
number of active series.
* dashboard: update single node dashboard
* add panel `Open FDs` for file descriptors metrics;
* add panel `Disk writes/reads` to show the real read/write
load on storage layer;
* add `process_resident_memory_bytes` metric to memory usage panel;
* add stats panel to show available CPUs, memory and disk space;
* rm flags panel since it didn't prove its usefulness.
* alerts: add alert for reaching FDs limit
List contains examples for the alerting rules which might be executed
via `vmalert` to track the health state of VM components. It is assumed
that list will be revised and calibrated for each system individually.
