This case is possible after the following steps:
1. vmagent successfully performed handshake with the -remoteWrite.url and the remote storage supports zstd-compressed data.
2. remote storage became unavailable or slow to ingest data, vmagent compressed the collected data into blocks with zstd and puts these blocks to persistent queue on disk.
3. vmagent restarts and the remote storage is unavailable during the handshake, then vmagent falls back to Snappy compression.
4. vmagent starts sending zstd-compressed data from persistent queue to the remote storage, while falsely advertizing it sends Snappy-compressed data.
5. The remote storage receives zstd-compressed data and fails unpacking it with Snappy.
The solution is the same as 12cd32fd75, just fall back to zstd decompression if Snappy decompression fails.
The buffered connection could have exceeded the underlying connection
deadline during reading or writing to an internal buffer.
With this change, buffered connection struct additionally checks
for a deadline in Read/Write methods.

evalRollupFuncNoCache() may return time series with identical labels (aka duplicate series)
when performing queries satisfying all the following conditions:
- It must select time series with multiple metric names. For example, {__name__=~"foo|bar"}
- The series selector must be wrapped into rollup function, which drops metric names. For example, rate({__name__=~"foo|bar"})
- The rollup function must be wrapped into aggregate function, which has no streaming optimization.
For example, quantile(0.9, rate({__name__=~"foo|bar"})
In this case VictoriaMetrics shouldn't return `cannot merge series: duplicate series found` error.
Instead, it should fall back to query execution with disabled cache.
Also properly store the merged results. Previously they were incorrectly stored because of a typo
introduced in the commit 41a0fdaf39

This case is possible after the following steps:
1. vmagent tries to perform handshake with the -remoteWrite.url in order to determine whether
the remote storage supports zstd-compressed data.
2. The remote storage is unavailable during the handshake. In this case vmagent falls back to Snappy compression
for the data sent to the remote storage.
3. vmagent compresses the collected data into blocks with Snappy and puts these blocks to persistent queue on disk.
4. The remote storage becomes available.
5. vmagent restarts, performs the handshake with the remote storage and detects that it supports zstd-compressed data.
6. vmagent starts sending Snappy-compressed data from persistent queue to the remote storage,
while falsely advertizing it sends zstd-compressed data.
7. The remote storage receives Snappy-compressed data and fails unpacking it with zstd.
The solution is to just fall back to Snappy decompression if zstd decompression fails.

Previously the `Host` header was remained unchanged when passing it in requests to backends.
This may improperly work if the backend uses host-based routing.
While at it, allows http/2.0 requests to backends. While VictoriaMetrics components
do not accept http/2.0 requests, other backends can require such requests.

- Re-use identically configured http.Transport across multiple users.
This fixes handling of the limit on the number of connection, which can be established per each backend
via -maxIdleConnsPerBackend command-line flag. This limit stopped working after 323f3720ed
- Add docs about backend TLS setup at https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmauth.html#backend-tls-setup
- Add ability to disable backend TLS verification for all the users via -backend.tlsInsecureSkipVerify command-line flag.
This flag may be useful when -auth.config contains big number of users, and every user must disable backend TLS verification.
- Add ability to specify TLS Root CA via tls_ca_file option at per-user basis and via -backend.tlsCAFile command-line flag
across all the users.

Previously entries which were accessed only 1 time weren't cached.

the number of cache misses needed before storing the block in the caching.

Repeated instant queries with long lookbehind windows, which contain one of the following rollup functions,
are optimized via partial result caching:
- sum_over_time()
- count_over_time()
- avg_over_time()
- increase()
- rate()
The basic idea of optimization is to calculate
rf(m[d] @ t)
as
rf(m[offset] @ t) + rf(m[d] @ (t-offset)) - rf(m[offset] @ (t-d))
where rf(m[d] @ (t-offset)) is cached query result, which was calculated previously
The offset may be in the range of up to 1 hour.
The SECURITY label should be applied only to changes, which fix security issues.
The change at ad839aa492 adds new command-line flags, which can be used
for improving security in some cases. They do not fix any security issues.

* do not print redundant error logs when failed to scrape consul or nomad target

- Make sure that invalid/missing TLS CA file or TLS client certificate files at vmagent startup
don't prevent from processing the corresponding scrape targets after the file becomes correct,
without the need to restart vmagent.
Previously scrape targets with invalid TLS CA file or TLS client certificate files
were permanently dropped after the first attempt to initialize them, and they didn't
appear until the next vmagent reload or the next change in other places of the loaded scrape configs.
- Make sure that TLS CA is properly re-loaded from file after it changes without the need to restart vmagent.
Previously the old TLS CA was used until vmagent restart.
- Properly handle errors during http request creation for the second attempt to send data to remote system
at vmagent and vmalert. Previously failed request creation could result in nil pointer dereferencing,
since the returned request is nil on error.
- Add more context to the logged error during AWS sigv4 request signing before sending the data to -remoteWrite.url at vmagent.
Previously it could miss details on the source of the request.
- Do not create a new HTTP client per second when generating OAuth2 token needed to put in Authorization header
of every http request issued by vmagent during service discovery or target scraping.
Re-use the HTTP client instead until the corresponding scrape config changes.
- Cache error at lib/promauth.Config.GetAuthHeader() in the same way as the auth header is cached,
e.g. the error is cached for a second now. This should reduce load on CPU and OAuth2 server
when auth header cannot be obtained because of temporary error.
- Share tls.Config.GetClientCertificate function among multiple scrape targets with the same tls_config.
Cache the loaded certificate and the error for one second. This should significantly reduce CPU load
when scraping big number of targets with the same tls_config.
- Allow loading TLS certificates from HTTP and HTTPs urls by specifying these urls at `tls_config->cert_file` and `tls_config->key_file`.
- Improve test coverage at lib/promauth
- Skip unreachable or invalid files specified at `scrape_config_files` during vmagent startup, since these files may become valid later.
Previously vmagent was exitting in this case.
