* vmalert: add `query_time_alignment` for rule group
1. add `eval_alignment` attribute for group which by default is true. So group rule query stamp will be aligned with interval and propagated to ALERT metrics and the messages for alertmanager;
2. deprecate `datasource.queryTimeAlignment` flag.

(cherry picked from commit 2aa0f5fc41)
Strip sensitive information such as auth headers or passwords from datasource, remote-read,
remote-write or notifier URLs in log messages or UI. This behavior is by default and is controlled via
`-datasource.showURL`, `-remoteRead.showURL`, `remoteWrite.showURL` or `-notifier.showURL` cmd-line flags.
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5044
(cherry picked from commit 244c887825)
Adds `eval_offset` attribute for Groups.
If specified, Group will be evaluated at the exact time offset on the range of [0...evaluationInterval].
The setting might be useful for cron-like rules which must be evaluated at specific moments of time.

(cherry picked from commit 45c0e4bb31)
Value of `-dedup.minScrapeInterval` comand-line flag must be higher than `evaluation_interval` in order to make sure that only one sample on each evaluation will be left after deduplication.
Moreover, value of `-dedup.minScrapeInterval` must be a multiple of vmalert's `evaluation_interval` in order to make sure that samples will be aligned between deduplication window periods.

The important change is to highlight that restore procedure happens
only once and only for already loaded rules. Config hot-reload
doesn't trigger the restore procedure.

* 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.

By default, vmalert will make multiple retry attempts with exponential delay.
The total time spent during retry attempts shouldn't exceed `-remoteWrite.retryMaxTime` (default is 30s).
When retry time is exceeded vmalert drops the data dedicated for `-remoteWrite.url`.
Before, vmalert dropped data after 5 retry attempts with 1s delay between attempts (not configurable).
See `-remoteWrite.retryMinInterval` and `-remoteWrite.retryMaxTime` cmd-line flags.

app/vmalert: detect alerting rules which don't match any series at all
vmalert starts to understand /query responses which contain object:
```
"stats":{"seriesFetched": "42"}
```
If object is present, vmalert parses it and populates a new field
`SeriesFetched`. This field is then used to populate the new metric
`vmalert_alerting_rules_last_evaluation_series_fetched` and to
display warnings in the vmalert's UI.
If response doesn't contain the new object (Prometheus or
VictoriaMetrics earlier than v1.90), then `SeriesFetched=nil`.
In this case, UI will contain no additional warnings.
And `vmalert_alerting_rules_last_evaluation_series_fetched` will
be set to `-1`. Negative value of the metric will help to compile
correct alerting rule in follow-up.
Thanks for the initial implementation to @Haleygo
