This panic could occur when samples with too long label values are ingested into VictoriaMetrics.
This could result in too long fistItem and commonPrefix values at blockHeader (up to 64kb each).
This may inflate the maximum index block size by 4 * maxIndexBlockSize.

During background downsampling, rate(vm_deduplicated_samples_total{type="merge"}) could be much bigger than
rate(vm_rows_added_to_storage_total) and it could last quite some time,
which causes negative values of Storage full ETA and confuses users, see playground.
Instead of trying to get more accurate results during downsampling, I think it's ok to ignore
vm_deduplicated_samples_total at all, it's more reasonable to see Storage full ETA increase after downsampling.

changes(), increases_over_time() and resets() shouldn't take into account
value changes, which may occur because of precision errors.
The maximum guaranteed precision for raw samples stored in VictoriaMetrics is 12 decimal digits.
So do not count relative changes for values if they are smaller than 1e-12 comparing to the value.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/767
For example, -fooDuration=',10s,' is now supported - it sets three command-line flag values:
- the first and the last one are set to the default value for `-fooDuration`
- the second one is set to 10s

The easyproto-based marshaler is 2x slower than the previous custom marshaler,
so let's stick with it. This improves the performance for sending data to remote storage at vmagent
and reduces CPU usage to pre-v1.97.0 levels.

This case is possible after a new brsPool is allocated. The fix is to verify whether len(brsPool) >= len(brs.brs)
before trying to append a new item to brsPool and sharing its contents with brs.brs.

* app/vmselect: set proper timestamp for cached instant responses
The change updates `getSumInstantValues` to prefer timestamp
from the most recent results. Before, timestamp from cached series
was used.
The old behavior had negative impact on recording rules as they
were getting responses with shifted timestamps in past.
Subsequent recording or alerting rules fetching results of these
recording rules could get no result due to staleness interval.

This limit has little sense for these APIs, since:
- Thses APIs frequently result in scanning of all the time series on the given time range.
For example, if extra_filters={datacenter="some_dc"} .
- Users expect these APIs shouldn't hit the -search.maxUniqueTimeseries limit,
which is intended for limiting resource usage at /api/v1/query and /api/v1/query_range requests.
Also limit the concurrency for /api/v1/labels, /api/v1/label/.../values
and /api/v1/series requests in order to limit the maximum memory usage and CPU usage for these API.
This limit shouldn't affect typical use cases for these APIs:
- Grafana dashboard load when dashboard labels should be loaded
- Auto-suggestion list load when editing the query in Grafana or vmui

Sending unfinished aggregate states tend to produce unexpected anomalies with lower values than expected.
The old behavior can be restored by specifying `flush_on_shutdown: true` setting in streaming aggregation config

* app/vmalert: fix data race during hot-config reload
During hot-reload, the logic evokes the group update and rules evaluation
interruption simultaneously. Falsely assuming that interruption happens before
the update. However, it could happen that group will be updated first and only
after the rules evaluation will be cancelled. Which will result in permanent
interruption for all rules within the group.
The fix caches the cancel context function into local variable first. And only after
performs the group update. With cached cancel function we can safely call it without
worrying that we cancel the evaluation for already updated group.

- Maintain a separate worker pool per each part type (in-memory, file, big and small).
Previously a shared pool was used for merging all the part types.
A single merge worker could merge parts with mixed types at once. For example,
it could merge simultaneously an in-memory part plus a big file part.
Such a merge could take hours for big file part. During the duration of this merge
the in-memory part was pinned in memory and couldn't be persisted to disk
under the configured -inmemoryDataFlushInterval .
Another common issue, which could happen when parts with mixed types are merged,
is uncontrolled growth of in-memory parts or small parts when all the merge workers
were busy with merging big files. Such growth could lead to significant performance
degradataion for queries, since every query needs to check ever growing list of parts.
This could also slow down the registration of new time series, since VictoriaMetrics
searches for the internal series_id in the indexdb for every new time series.
The third issue is graceful shutdown duration, which could be very long when a background
merge is running on in-memory parts plus big file parts. This merge couldn't be interrupted,
since it merges in-memory parts.
A separate pool of merge workers per every part type elegantly resolves both issues:
- In-memory parts are merged to file-based parts in a timely manner, since the maximum
size of in-memory parts is limited.
- Long-running merges for big parts do not block merges for in-memory parts and small parts.
- Graceful shutdown duration is now limited by the time needed for flushing in-memory parts to files.
Merging for file parts is instantly canceled on graceful shutdown now.
- Deprecate -smallMergeConcurrency command-line flag, since the new background merge algorithm
should automatically self-tune according to the number of available CPU cores.
- Deprecate -finalMergeDelay command-line flag, since it wasn't working correctly.
It is better to run forced merge when needed - https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#forced-merge
- Tune the number of shards for pending rows and items before the data goes to in-memory parts
and becomes visible for search. This improves the maximum data ingestion rate and the maximum rate
for registration of new time series. This should reduce the duration of data ingestion slowdown
in VictoriaMetrics cluster on e.g. re-routing events, when some of vmstorage nodes become temporarily
unavailable.
- Prevent from possible "sync: WaitGroup misuse" panic on graceful shutdown.
This is a follow-up for fa566c68a6 .

* 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.

This reverts cd4f641d32 , since it has been appeared that the disabled compression
for vmstorage->vmselect data increase network bandwidth usage by more than 10x on typical production workloads,
while it decreases CPU usage at vmstorage by up to 10% and improves query latency by up to 10%.
The 10x increase in network usage is too high price for 10% improvements on query latency and vmstorage CPU usage.
This may result in network bandwidth bottlenecks, which can reduce the overall performance and stability
of VictoriaMetrics cluster. That's why return back the vmstorage->vmselect data compression by default.
The vmstorage->vmselect compression can be disabled by passing -rpc.disableCompression command-line flag to vmstorage.
The vmselect->vmselect compression in multi-level cluster setup can be disabled by passing -clusternative.disableCompression command-line flag.
It has been appeared that the registration of new time series slows down linearly
with the number of indexdb parts, since VictoriaMetrics needs to check every indexdb part
when it searches for TSID by newly ingested metric name.
The number of in-memory parts grows when new time series are registered
at high rate. The number of in-memory parts grows faster on systems with big number
of CPU cores, because the mergeset maintains per-CPU buffers with newly added entries
for the indexdb, and every such entry is transformed eventually into a separate in-memory part.
The solution has been suggested in https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/5212
by @misutoth - to limit the number of in-memory parts with buffered channel.
This solution is implemented in this commit. Additionally, this commit merges per-CPU parts
into a single part before adding it to the list of in-memory parts. This reduces CPU load
when searching for TSID by newly ingested metric name.
The https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/5212 recommends setting the limit on the number
of in-memory parts to 100, but my internal testing shows that much lower limit 15 works with the same efficiency
on a system with 16 CPU cores while reducing memory usage for `indexdb/dataBlocks` cache by up to 50%.
