According to Ruler specification, only labels returned within time series
should be available for use in annotations.
For long time, vmalert didn't respect this rule. And in PR
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/2403
this was fixed for the sake of compatibility. However, this resulted
into users confusion, as they expected all configured and extra labels
to be available - https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3013
This fix allows to use extra labels in Annotations. But in the case of conflicts
the original labels (extracted from time series) are preferred.

* vmalert: add `debug` mode for alerting rules
Debug information includes alerts state changes and requests
sent to the datasource. Debug can be enabled only on rule's
level. It might be useful for debugging unexpected
behaviour of alerting rule.

* vmalert: introduce additional HTTP URL params per-group configuration
The new group field `params` allows to configure custom HTTP URL params
per each group. These params will be applied to every request before
executing rule's expression. Hot config reload is also supported.
Field `extra_filter_labels` was deprecated in favour of `params` field.
vmalert will print deprecation log message if config file contains
the deprecated field.
`params` fields are supported by both Prometheus and Graphite datasource types.

and params in group definition the latter will have higher priority.

Prometheus allows to have groups with no rules, so we should support
it in vmalert as well for compatibility reasons.
It is also allowed to hot-reload empty groups by adding or removing rules.

* 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.

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.
* changes vmalert query function
for prometheus rules compatibility its better to use labels as map.
it simplifies template evaluation and allow to ignore can't evaluate field error
because map will return default value.

On templates validation stage vmalert does not acutally send queries, so for complex
chained expression validation may fail. To avoid this, we add a blank sample in response
so validation can pass successfully. Later, during the rule execution, stub will be replaced
with real `query` function.
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/989
The commit adds a support for template function `query`,
`first` and `value`. The function `query` executes
a MetricsQL query for active alerts. In vmalert we
update templates on every evaluation for active alerts
to keep them up to date. With `query` func it may become
a perf issue since it will fire a query on every execution.
We should keep it in mind for now.
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/539
Uniqueness of rule is now defined by combination of its name, expression and
labels. The hash of the combination is now used as rule ID and identifies rule within the group.
Set of rules from coreos/kube-prometheus was added for testing purposes to
verify compatibility. The check also showed that `vmalert` doesn't support
`query` template function that was mentioned as limitation in README.
The feature allows to speed up group rules execution by
executing them concurrently.
Change also contains README changes to reflect configuration
details.
* vmalert: Add recording rules support.
Recording rules support required additional service refactoring since
it wasn't planned to support them from the very beginning. The list
of changes is following:
* new entity RecordingRule was added for writing results of MetricsQL
expressions into remote storage;
* interface Rule now unites both recording and alerting rules;
* configuration parser was moved to separate package and now performs
more strict validation;
* new endpoint for listing all groups and rules in json format was added;
* evaluation interval may be set to every particular group;
* vmalert: uncomment tests
* vmalert: rm outdated TODO
* vmalert: fix typos in README
