Revert "fixed victorialogs relative links (#6693)"
This reverts commit 683a69d53d.

Reason for revert: relative links in docs are much harder to maintain in consistent state
comparing to absolute links:

- It is non-trivial to figure out the proper relative link path when creating and editing docs.
- Relative links break after moving the doc files to another paths, and it is non-trivial
  to figure which links are broken after that.
- The updated relative links do not work properly right now in the docs.
  For example, the https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/quickstart.md#building-from-source-code
  link at https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/changelog/ leads to 404 page.

This is documented at https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#images-in-documentation .

docs: add spellcheck command (#6562)
### Describe Your Changes

Implement spellcheck command:
  - add cspell configuration files
  - dockerize spellchecking process
  - add Makefile targets

This PR adds a standalone `make spellcheck` target to check `docs/*.md` files for spelling
errors. The target process is dockerized to be run in a separate npm environment.

Some `docs/` typo fixes also included.

lib/logstorage: properly search for the surrounding logs in stream_context pipe
The set of log fields in the found logs may differ from the set of log fields present in the log stream.
So compare only the log fields in the found logs when searching for the matching log entry in the log stream.

While at it, return _stream field in the delimiter log entry, since this field is used by VictoriaLogs Web UI
for grouping logs by log streams.

vmui/logs: fix parsing long _msg values (#6310)
This PR fixes an issue where parsing long `_msg` values caused errors,
resulting in some log records not being displayed.

The error occurred due to partial processing of strings. In some cases,
a long record could be split into multiple chunks, causing only part of
the record to be processed instead of the entire entry.

and at GitHub wiki. For example, the following page contains broken links
before reverting this commit:

https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/docs/VictoriaLogs/CHANGELOG.md

It is always better to use absolute links thank relative links, since the page contents
can be copy-n-pasted to other pages, which are located in vastly different directories,
and all the links will remain working.

lib/logstorage: follow-up for 94627113db
- Move uniqueFields from rows to blockStreamMerger struct.
  This allows localizing all the references to uniqueFields inside blockStreamMerger.mustWriteBlock(),
  which should improve readability and maintainability of the code.

- Remove logging of the event when blocks cannot be merged because they contain more than maxColumnsPerBlock,
  since the provided logging didn't provide the solution for the issue with too many columns.
  I couldn't figure out the proper solution, which could be helpful for end user,
  so decided to remove the logging until we find the solution.

This commit also contains the following additional changes:

- It truncates field names longer than 128 chars during logs ingestion.
  This should prevent from ingesting bogus field names.
  This also should prevent from too big columnsHeader blocks,
  which could negatively affect search query performance,
  since columnsHeader is read on every scan of the corresponding data block.

- It limits the maximum length of const column value to 256.
  Longer values are stored in an ordinary columns.
  This helps limiting the size of columnsHeader blocks
  and improving search query performance by avoiding
  reading too long const columns on every scan of the corresponding data block.

- It deduplicates columns with identical names during data ingestion
  and background merging. Previously it was possible to pass columns with duplicate names
  to block.mustInitFromRows(), and they were stored as is in the block.
