We switch default alert's source link to redirect user

compatibility, it also supposed to improve user's experience.
The old behavior can be achieved by updating `-external.alert.source`

Other components, such as `vmagent`, mark these flags as sensitive and
hide them from the `/metrics` endpoint by default. This commit adds
similar handling to the `vmalert` component, hiding them by default, to
prevent logging of secrets inappropriately.
Showing of these values is controlled by an additional flag.

Unexpectedly, Grafana makes an extra request to `/rules`
handler in addition to `/api/v1/rules` calls in alerts UI.
This happens only for Grafana versions older than 8.5.*.
Apparently, this is related to support of other monitoring
systems.
Prometheus responds with `text/html` content for UI page `/rules`
to such requests. Actually, returning just a blank page with
SC=200 works as well.
Returning actual response of `/api/v1/rules`
results in error in Grafana since it expects a `yaml` (?) in response.
So we add a placeholder to `vmalert`.

For liquid text processor double braces `{{` `}}`
are special chars for templating.
Since we use them in some of our docs with different purpose,
we must escape them to avoid syntax errors from liquid.
For escaping curly braces we use bult-in plugin which helps
to enclose sections of text via `{% raw %}` and `{% endraw %}`.
This approach prevents liquid syntax errors and makes render correct.

Function `ValidateTemplates`, used on the vmalert startup,
is supposed to check whether used templates and functions
in loaded rules are correct. The function was parsing
and executing loaded templates.
However, rules may contain functions which can't be executed
without values (label values or query results), like `slice`.
Because of this, validation for completely valid expression
`{{ slice $labels.job 9 }}` will fail since `$labels.job`
is empty during validation.

templates without executing them.

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 removes the unneeded level of indirection and improves code readability.
The "prometheus" and "graphite" constants aren't going to change in the future, so there is no sense in hiding them behind constants.
Previously only the lower part of 64-bit hash was used for calculating the offset.
This may give uneven distribution in some cases. So let's use all the available 64 bits from the hash
for calculating the offset.
Prometheus allows to have groups with no rules, so we should support
it in vmalert as well for compatibility reasons.

Previously, ID for alert entity was generated without alertname or groupname.
This led to collision, when multiple alerting rules within the same group
producing same labelsets. E.g. expr: `sum(metric1) by (job) > 0` and
expr: `sum(metric2) by (job) > 0` could result into same labelset `job: "job"`.
The issue affects only UI and Web API parts of vmalert, because alert ID is used
only for displaying and finding active alerts. It does not affect state restore
procedure, since this label was added right before pushing to remote storage.
The change now adds all extra labels right after receiving response from the datasource.
And removes adding extra labels before pushing to remote storage.
Additionally, change introduces a new flag `Restored` which will be displayed in UI
for alerts which have been restored from remote storage on restart.
