http server: limit max concurrent requests (#4185)
* lib/httpserver: introduce `-http.maxConcurrentRequests` command-line flag

Introduce `-http.maxConcurrentRequests` command-line flag to protect
VM components from resource exhaustion during unexpected spikes of HTTP requests.
By default, the new flag's value is set to 0 which means no limits are applied.

app/vmstorage: deprecate -bigMergeConcurrency command-line flag
Improperly configured -bigMergeConcurrency command-line flag usually leads to uncontrolled
growth of unmerged parts, which, in turn, increases CPU usage and query durations.

So it is better deprecating this flag. In rare cases -smallMergeConcurrency command-line flag
can be used instead for controlling the concurrency of background merges.

lib/streamaggr: follow-up for ff72ca14b9
- Make sure that the last successfully loaded config is used on hot-reload failure
- Properly cleanup resources occupied by already initialized aggregators
  when the current aggregator fails to be initialized
- Expose distinct vmagent_streamaggr_config_reload* metrics per each -remoteWrite.streamAggr.config
  This should simplify monitoring and debugging failed reloads
- Remove race condition at app/vminsert/common.MustStopStreamAggr when calling sa.MustStop() while sa
  could be in use at realoadSaConfig()
- Remove lib/streamaggr.aggregator.hasState global variable, since it may negatively impact scalability
  on system with big number of CPU cores at hasState.Store(true) call inside aggregator.Push().
- Remove fine-grained aggregator reload - reload all the aggregators on config change instead.
  This simplifies the code a bit. The fine-grained aggregator reload may be returned back
  if there will be demand from real users for it.
- Check -relabelConfig and -streamAggr.config files when single-node VictoriaMetrics runs with -dryRun flag
- Return back accidentally removed changelog for v1.87.4 at docs/CHANGELOG.md

all: add Windows build for VictoriaMetrics
This commit changes background merge algorithm, so it becomes compatible with Windows file semantics.

The previous algorithm for background merge:

1. Merge source parts into a destination part inside tmp directory.
2. Create a file in txn directory with instructions on how to atomically
   swap source parts with the destination part.
3. Perform instructions from the file.
4. Delete the file with instructions.

This algorithm guarantees that either source parts or destination part
is visible in the partition after unclean shutdown at any step above,
since the remaining files with instructions is replayed on the next restart,
after that the remaining contents of the tmp directory is deleted.

Unfortunately this algorithm doesn't work under Windows because
it disallows removing and moving files, which are in use.

So the new algorithm for background merge has been implemented:

1. Merge source parts into a destination part inside the partition directory itself.
   E.g. now the partition directory may contain both complete and incomplete parts.
2. Atomically update the parts.json file with the new list of parts after the merge,
   e.g. remove the source parts from the list and add the destination part to the list
   before storing it to parts.json file.
3. Remove the source parts from disk when they are no longer used.

This algorithm guarantees that either source parts or destination part
is visible in the partition after unclean shutdown at any step above,
since incomplete partitions from step 1 or old source parts from step 3 are removed
on the next startup by inspecting parts.json file.

This algorithm should work under Windows, since it doesn't remove or move files in use.
This algorithm has also the following benefits:

- It should work better for NFS.
- It fits object storage semantics.

The new algorithm changes data storage format, so it is impossible to downgrade
to the previous versions of VictoriaMetrics after upgrading to this algorithm.

lib/storage: follow-up for 39cdc546dd
- Use flag.Duration instead of flagutil.Duration for -snapshotCreateTimeout,
  since the flagutil.Duration is intended mostly for big durations, e.g. days, months and years,
  while the -snapshotCreateTimeout is usually smaller than one hour.
- Add links to https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#how-to-work-with-snapshots in docs/CHANGELOG.md,
  so readers could easily find the corresponding docs when reading the changelog.
- Properly remove all the created directories on unsuccessful attempt to create
  snapshot in Storage.CreateSnapshot().

vmselect/promql: check for deadline in count_values fn (#3806)
* vmselect/promql: check for deadline in `count_values` fn

`count_values` could be very slow during the data processing.
Checking for deadline between iterations supposed to reduce
probability of exceeding `search.maxQueryDuration`.

The change also adds a new trace record, which captures the time
spent in aggregation function. Before that, the trace for aggr funcs
could be confusing since it doesn't account for all the places where
time was spent.

lib/promscrape/discovery/kuma: follow-up for 317fef95f9
- Do not generate __meta_server label, since it is unavailable in Prometheus.
- Add a link to https://docs.victoriametrics.com/sd_configs.html#kuma_sd_configs to docs/CHANGELOG.md,
  so users could click it and read the docs without the need to search the corresponding docs.
- Remove kumaTarget struct, since it is easier generating labels for discovered targets
  directly from the response returned by Kuma. This simplifies the code.
- Store the generated labels for discovered targets inside atomic.Value. This allows reading them
  from concurrent goroutines without the need to use mutex.
- Use synchronouse requests to Kuma instead of long polling, since there is a little sense
  in the long polling when the Kuma server may return 304 Not Modified response every -promscrape.kumaSDCheckInterval.
- Remove -promscrape.kuma.waitTime command-line flag, since it is no longer needed when long polling isn't used.
- Set default value for -promscrape.kumaSDCheckInterval to 30s in order to be consistent with Prometheus.
- Remove unnecessary indirections for string literals, which are used only once, in order to improve code readability.
- Remove unused fields from discoveryRequest and discoveryResponse.
- Update tests.
- Document why fetch_timeout and refresh_interval options are missing in kuma_sd_config.
- Add docs to discoveryutils.RequestCallback and discoveryutils.ResponseCallback,
  since these are public types.

Side notes: it is weird that Prometheus implementation for kuma_sd_configs sets `instance` label,
since usually this label is set by the Prometheus itself to __address__ after the relabeling phase.
