To improve compatibility with Prometheus alerting the order of
templates processing has changed.
Before, vmalert did all labels processing beforehand. It meant
all extra labels (such as `alertname`, `alertgroup` or rule labels)
were available in templating. All collisions were resolved in favour
of extra labels.
In Prometheus, only labels from the received metric are available in
templating, so no collisions are possible.
This change makes vmalert's behaviour similar to Prometheus.
For example, consider alerting rule which is triggered by time series
with `alertname` label. In vmalert, this label would be overriden
by alerting rule's name everywhere: for alert labels, for annotations, etc.
In Prometheus, it would be overriden for alert's labels only, but in annotations
the original label value would be available.

This should improve the performance for items sorting inside inmemoryBlock.MarshalUnsortedData
if they have common prefix.
While at it, improve the performance for inmemoryBlock.updateCommonPrefix for sorted items.
This should improve performance for inmemoryBlock.MarshalSortedData during background merge.
This reduces memory usage under production workloads by up to 10%,
while CPU spent on GC remains roughly the same.
The CPU spent on GC can be monitored with go_memstats_gc_cpu_fraction metric
The following actions are taken:
- Increase the TLS hashdshake timeout from 5 seconds to 10 seconds
- Increase dial timeout from 5 seconds to 30 seconds
- Specify DialContext instead of Dial in http.Transport. This allows properly handling
the Context arg during dialing the remote storage

* lib/protoparser: changes ParseStream for native format
uses reader instead of http.Request
updates app/vmagent and app/vmagent method usage
* app/vmctl: add verify-block subcommand
it allows to check exported from VictoriaMetrics data block in native format

The new flag `datasource.disableKeepAlive` allows disabling keepalive
connections. This may be useful if there are multiple datasource
replicas (e.g. vmselects) behind the HTTP balancer to avoid uneven
load spread because of long-lived connections.

Executor recently gain field for storing previously sent series.
Since the same executor object can be used in multiple goroutines,
the access to this field should be serialized.

* vmalert: split alert's `Start` field into `ActiveAt` and `Start`
The `ActiveAt` field identifies when alert becomes active for rules
with `for > 0`. Previously, this value was stored in field `Start`.
The field `Start` now identifies the moment alert became `FIRING`.
The split is needed in order to distinguish these two moments
in the API responses for alerts.

* vmalert: support specific moment of time for rules evaluation
The Querier interface was extended to accept a new argument
used as a timestamp at which evaluation should be made.
It is needed to align rules execution time within the group.

* vmalert: mark disappeared series as stale
Series generated by alerting rules, which were sent to remote write
now will be marked as stale if they will disappear on the next
evaluation. This would make ALERTS and ALERTS_FOR_TIME series
more precise.

* vmalert: evaluate rules at fixed timestamp
Before, time at which rules were evaluated was calculated
right before rule execution. The change makes sure
that timestamp is calculated only once per evalution round
and all rules are using the same timestamp.
It also updates the logic of resending of already resolved
alert notification.

* vmalert: allow overridin `alertname` label value if it is present in response
Previously, `alertname` was always equal to the Alerting Rule name. Now,
its value can be overriden if series in response containt the different value
for this label.
The change is needed for improving compatibility with Prometheus.

* vmalert: align rules evaluation in time
Now, evaluation timestamp for rules evaluates as if
there was no delay in rules evaluation. It means, that
rules will be evaluated at fixed timestamps+group_interval.
This way provides more consistent evaluation results and
improves compatibility with Prometheus,

According to the spec:
```
The alert name from the alerting rule (HighRequestLatency from the example above) MUST be added to the labels of the alert with the label name as alertname. It MUST override any existing alertname label.
