1. Avoid storing the last evaluation results outside of rules, check for
stale time series as soon as possible;
2. remove duplicated template `Clone()`.
This pull request is primarily reducing memory usage when rules produce
large volumes of results, as seen in
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/6894.
The CPU time spent on garbage collection remains high and may be
addressed in a separate PR.
This makes test code more clear and reduces the number of code lines by 500.
This also simplifies debugging tests. See https://itnext.io/f-tests-as-a-replacement-for-table-driven-tests-in-go-8814a8b19e9e
While at it, consistently use t.Fatal* instead of t.Error* across tests, since t.Error*
requires more boilerplate code, which can result in additional bugs inside tests.
While t.Error* allows writing logging errors for the same, this doesn't simplify fixing
broken tests most of the time.
This is a follow-up for a9525da8a4
* vmalert: fix sending alert messages
1. fix `endsAt` field in messages that send to alertmanager, previously rule with small interval could never be triggered;
2. fix behavior of `-rule.resendDelay`, before it could prevent sending firing message when rule state is volatile.
* docs: update changelog notes

* app/vmalert: autogenerate `ALERTS_FOR_STATE` time series for alerting rules with `for: 0`
Previously, `ALERTS_FOR_STATE` was generated only for alerts with `for > 0`.
This behavior differs from Prometheus behavior - it generates ALERTS_FOR_STATE
time series for alerting rules with `for: 0` as well. Such time series can
be useful for tracking the moment when alerting rule became active.

automatically add `exported_` prefix for original evaluation result label if it's conflicted with external or reserved one,
previously it was overridden.

reduce the number of queries for restoring alerts state on start-up.
The change should speed up the restore process and reduce pressure on `remoteRead.url`.
fix possible missing firing states for alerting rules in replay mode
Before if one firing stage is bigger than single query request range, like rule with a big `for`, alerting rule won't able to be detected as firing.
