For a long time notifier.Addr flag was required. The assumption was that vmalert will
be always used for alerting. However, practice shows that some users need only
recording rules. In this case, requirement of notifier.Addr is ambigious.
The change verifies if loaded config contains recording or alerting rules and
if there are corresponding flags set. This is true for initial config load
and hot reload.

New UI pages:
/ - welcome page with API handlers list;
/groups - list of all rules per group;
/alerts - list of all active alerts;
/groupID/alertID/status - status of the active alert;
* vmalert: allow extra GET params in datasource package
ExtraParams will be added as GET params to every HTTP request made by datasource.
The `roundDigits` param, for example, was substituted by corresponding extra param.
* vmalert: add nocache=1 param for replay process
The `nocache=1` param is VictoriaMetrics specific parameter which prevents it
from caching and boundaries aligning for queries. We set it to avoid cache
pollution in `replay` mode and also to avoid unnecessary time range boundaries
alignment.
* vmalert: mention nocache=1 in replay description
* vmalert: fix bug with unused param
* vmalert: remove `vmalert_execution_duration_seconds` metric
The summary for `vmalert_execution_duration_seconds` metric gives no additional
value comparing to `vmalert_iteration_duration_seconds` metric.
* vmalert: update config reload success metric properly
Previously, if there was unsuccessfull attempt to reload config and then
rollback to previous version - the metric remained set to 0.
* vmalert: add Grafana dashboard to overview application metrics
* docker: include vmalert target into list for scraping
* vmalert: extend notifier metrics with addr label
The change adds an `addr` label to metrics for alerts_sent and alerts_send_errors
to identify which exact address is having issues.
The according change was made to vmalert dashboard.
* vmalert: update documentation and docker environment for vmalert's dashboard
Mention Grafana's dashboard in vmalert's README in a new section #Monitoring.
Update docker-compose env to automatically add vmalert's dashboard.
Update docker-compose README with additional info about services.
* vmalert: allow to disable automatically added path to remote write address via disablePathAppend flag
* docs: update docs to include remoteWrite.disablePathAppend
* vmalert: support rules backfilling (aka `replay`)
vmalert can `replay` configured rules in the past
and backfill results via remote write protocol.
It supports MetricsQL/PromQL storage as data source,
and can backfill data to remote write compatible
storage.
Supports recording and alerting rules `replay`. See more
details in README.

* vmalert: review fixes
* vmalert: readme fixes
New flag `-rule.configCheckInterval` defines how often `vmalert` will re-read
config file. If it detects any changes, the config will be reloaded.
This behaviour is turned off by default.

The new setting `extra_filter_labels` may be assigned to group.
If it is, then all rules within a group will automatically filter
for configured labels. The feature is well-described here
https://docs.victoriametrics.com#prometheus-querying-api-enhancements
New setting is compatible only with VM datasource.
The major change is adding `sort` directive to docs. For those docs which are copied
from internal packages `sort` is added via makefile command. For the rest it is added
manually since they're updated manually as well.
The rest of changes is connected with markdown formatting. For example, changing headers
in some files (`##` => `#`) makes navigation on .github.io to look better. This especially
useful for `changelog` docs.
Table of contents for `vmctl` is dropped, since we already have it autogenerated on .github.io.
No link changes expected. The corresponding PR to `cluster` branch will be made in follow-up PR.
3s evaluation interval is too small for practical setups. It can result in increased load on datasource.
So it is better to remove it from example config args, which are usually copy-pasted by novice users.
