* FEATURE: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html):
allow configuring `-remoteWrite.disableOnDiskQueue` and
`-remoteWrite.dropSamplesOnOverload` cmd-line flags per each
`-remoteWrite.url`. See this [pull
request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/6065).
Thanks to @rbizos for implementaion!
* FEATURE: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html): add
labels `path` and `url` to metrics
`vmagent_remotewrite_push_failures_total` and
`vmagent_remotewrite_samples_dropped_total`. Now number of failed pushes
and dropped samples can be tracked per `-remoteWrite.url`.

- Add Try* prefix to functions, which return bool result in order to improve readability and reduce the probability of missing check
for the result returned from these functions.
- Call the adjustSampleValues() only once on input samples. Previously it was called on every attempt to flush data to peristent queue.
- Properly restore the initial state of WriteRequest passed to tryPushWriteRequest() before returning from this function
after unsuccessful push to persistent queue. Previously a part of WriteRequest samples may be lost in such case.
- Add -remoteWrite.dropSamplesOnOverload command-line flag, which can be used for dropping incoming samples instead
of returning 429 Too Many Requests error to the client when -remoteWrite.disableOnDiskQueue is set and the remote storage
cannot keep up with the data ingestion rate.
- Add vmagent_remotewrite_samples_dropped_total metric, which counts the number of dropped samples.
- Add vmagent_remotewrite_push_failures_total metric, which counts the number of unsuccessful attempts to push
data to persistent queue when -remoteWrite.disableOnDiskQueue is set.
- Remove vmagent_remotewrite_aggregation_metrics_dropped_total and vm_promscrape_push_samples_dropped_total metrics,
because they are replaced with vmagent_remotewrite_samples_dropped_total metric.
- Update 'Disabling on-disk persistence' docs at docs/vmagent.md
- Update stale comments in the code

* app/vmagent: allow to disabled on-disk queue
Previously, it wasn't possible to build data processing pipeline with a
chain of vmagents. In case when remoteWrite for the last vmagent in the
chain wasn't accessible, it persisted data only when it has enough disk
capacity. If disk queue is full, it started to silently drop ingested
metrics.
New flags allows to disable on-disk persistent and immediatly return an
error if remoteWrite is not accessible anymore. It blocks any writes and
notify client, that data ingestion isn't possible.
Main use case for this feature - use external queue such as kafka for
data persistence.

* adds test, updates readme
* apply review suggestions
* update docs for vmagent
* makes linter happy

- Compare directory names instead of paths to directory when determining which persistent queues must be deleted
This is less error-prone solution, since paths to the same directory can differ, which could lead
to accidental directory removal for the existing -remoteWrite.url
- Log the `removed %d dangling queues` message when at least a single queue has been removed
- Consistently use filepath.Join() for creating paths to persistent queues.
This is needed for Windows support (see https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/70 )
- Clarify the description of the change at docs/CHANGELOG.md
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4014
This fixes handling of values bigger than 2GiB for the following command-line flags:
- -storage.minFreeDiskSpaceBytes
- -remoteWrite.maxDiskUsagePerURL
The strategy is:
- Periodical flushing of inmemory blocks to files, so they aren't lost on unclean shutdown.
- Periodical syncing of metadata for persisted queues, so the metadata remains in sync with the persisted data.
- Automatic adjusting of too big chunk size when opening the queue. The chunk size may be bigger than the writer offset after unclean shutdown.
- Skipping of broken chunk file if it cannot be read.
- Fsyncing finalized chunk files.
