`vm_rows_ignored_total` metric is a metric for users to signalize about
ingestion issues, such as bad timestamp or parsing error.
In commit
a5424e95b3
this metric started to increment each time vmstorage gets NaN. But NaN
is a valid value for Prometheus data model and for Prometheus metrics
exposition format. Exporters from Prometheus ecosystem could expose NaNs
as values for metrics and these values will be delivered to vmstorage
and increment the metric.
Since there is nothing user can do with this, in opposite to parsing
errors or bad timestamps, there is not much sense in incrementing this
metric. So this commit rolls-back `reason="nan_value"` increments.

### Describe Your Changes
Introduce the `-search.maxDeleteSeries` flag that limits the number of
time series that can be deleted with a single
`/api/v1/admin/tsdb/delete_series` call.
Currently, any number can be deleted and if the number is big (millions)
then the operation may result in unaccounted CPU and memory usage spikes
which in some cases may result in OOM kill (see #7027). The flag limits
the number to 30k by default and the users may override it if needed at
the vmstorage start time.

### Describe Your Changes
Add storage metrics that count records that failed to insert:
- `RowsReceivedTotal`: the number of records that have been received by
the storage from the clients
- `RowsAddedTotal`: the number of records that have actually been
persisted. This value must be equal to `RowsReceivedTotal` if all the
records have been valid ones. But it will be smaller otherwise. The
values of the metrics below should provide the insight of why some
records hasn't been added
- `NaNValueRows`: the number of records whose value was `NaN`
- `StaleNaNValueRows`: the number of records whose value was `Stale NaN`
- `InvalidRawMetricNames`: the number of records whose raw metric name
has failed to unmarshal.
The following metrics existed before this PR and are listed here for
completeness:
- `TooSmallTimestampRows`: the number of records whose timestamp is
negative or is older than retention period
- `TooBigTimestampRows`: the number of records whose timestamp is too
far in the future.
- `HourlySeriesLimitRowsDropped`: the number of records that have not
been added because the hourly series limit has been exceeded.
- `DailySeriesLimitRowsDropped`: the number of records that have not
been added because the daily series limit has been exceeded.

Recent versions of `docker build` started generating the InvalidDefaultArgInFrom warning if Dockerfile contains
an ARG without default value. While this warning doesn't affect building Docker packages via `make package-*` commands,
it is better suppressing the warning, so it doesn't clutter `make package-*` output with the noise,
which can hide real issues in the future.
The %q formatter may result in incorrectly formatted JSON string if the original string
contains special chars such as \x1b . They must be encoded as \u001b , otherwise the resulting JSON string
cannot be parsed by JSON parsers.

`Storage.AddRows()` returns an error only in one case: when
`Storage.updatePerDateData()` fails to unmarshal a `metricNameRaw`. But
the same error is treated as a warning when it happens inside
`Storage.add()` or returned by `Storage.prefillNextIndexDB()`.
This commit fixes this inconsistency by treating the error returned by
`Storage.updatePerDateData()` as a warning as well. As a result
`Storage.add()` does not need a return value anymore and so doesn't
`Storage.AddRows()`.
Additionally, this commit adds a unit test that checks all cases that
result in a row not being added to the storage.

This commit returns back limits for these endpoints, which have been removed at 5d66ee88bd ,
since it has been appeared that missing limits result in high CPU usage, while the introduced concurrency limiter
results in failed lightweight requests to these endpoints because of timeout when heavyweight requests are executed.

- Maintain a separate worker pool per each part type (in-memory, file, big and small).
Previously a shared pool was used for merging all the part types.
A single merge worker could merge parts with mixed types at once. For example,
it could merge simultaneously an in-memory part plus a big file part.
Such a merge could take hours for big file part. During the duration of this merge
the in-memory part was pinned in memory and couldn't be persisted to disk
under the configured -inmemoryDataFlushInterval .
Another common issue, which could happen when parts with mixed types are merged,
is uncontrolled growth of in-memory parts or small parts when all the merge workers
were busy with merging big files. Such growth could lead to significant performance
degradataion for queries, since every query needs to check ever growing list of parts.
This could also slow down the registration of new time series, since VictoriaMetrics
searches for the internal series_id in the indexdb for every new time series.
The third issue is graceful shutdown duration, which could be very long when a background
merge is running on in-memory parts plus big file parts. This merge couldn't be interrupted,
since it merges in-memory parts.
A separate pool of merge workers per every part type elegantly resolves both issues:
- In-memory parts are merged to file-based parts in a timely manner, since the maximum
size of in-memory parts is limited.
- Long-running merges for big parts do not block merges for in-memory parts and small parts.
- Graceful shutdown duration is now limited by the time needed for flushing in-memory parts to files.
Merging for file parts is instantly canceled on graceful shutdown now.
- Deprecate -smallMergeConcurrency command-line flag, since the new background merge algorithm
should automatically self-tune according to the number of available CPU cores.
- Deprecate -finalMergeDelay command-line flag, since it wasn't working correctly.
It is better to run forced merge when needed - https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#forced-merge
- Tune the number of shards for pending rows and items before the data goes to in-memory parts
and becomes visible for search. This improves the maximum data ingestion rate and the maximum rate
for registration of new time series. This should reduce the duration of data ingestion slowdown
in VictoriaMetrics cluster on e.g. re-routing events, when some of vmstorage nodes become temporarily
unavailable.
- Prevent from possible "sync: WaitGroup misuse" panic on graceful shutdown.

The maxFileParts usage has been accidentally removed in fa566c68a6
While at it, add Count suffix to *AssistedMerges counter names in order to make them less misleading.
Previously their names were falsely suggesting that these are gauges, which show the number of concurrently
executed assisted merges.
This reverts cd4f641d32 , since it has been appeared that the disabled compression
for vmstorage->vmselect data increase network bandwidth usage by more than 10x on typical production workloads,
while it decreases CPU usage at vmstorage by up to 10% and improves query latency by up to 10%.
The 10x increase in network usage is too high price for 10% improvements on query latency and vmstorage CPU usage.
This may result in network bandwidth bottlenecks, which can reduce the overall performance and stability
of VictoriaMetrics cluster. That's why return back the vmstorage->vmselect data compression by default.
The vmstorage->vmselect compression can be disabled by passing -rpc.disableCompression command-line flag to vmstorage.
The vmselect->vmselect compression in multi-level cluster setup can be disabled by passing -clusternative.disableCompression command-line flag.
This should smooth CPU and RAM usage spikes related to these periodic tasks,
by reducing the probability that multiple concurrent periodic tasks are performed at the same time.
Examples:
1) -metricsAuthKey=file:///abs/path/to/file - reads flag value from the given absolute filepath
2) -metricsAuthKey=file://./relative/path/to/file - reads flag value from the given relative filepath
3) -metricsAuthKey=http://some-host/some/path?query_arg=abc - reads flag value from the given url
The flag value is automatically updated when the file contents changes.

* lib/storage: pre-create timeseries before indexDB rotation
during an hour before indexDB rotation start creating records at the next indexDB
it must improve performance during switch for the next indexDB and remove ingestion issues.
Since there is no need for creation new index records for timeseries already ingested into current indexDB
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/4563
* lib/storage: further work on indexdb rotation optimization
- Document the change at docs/CHAGNELOG.md
- Move back various caches from indexDB to Storage. This makes the change less intrusive.
The dateMetricIDCache now takes into account indexDB generation, so it stores (date, metricID)
entries for both the current and the next indexDB.
- Consolidate the code responsible for idbNext pre-filling into prefillNextIndexDB() function.
This improves code readability and maintainability a bit.
- Rewrite and simplify the code responsible for calculating the next retention timestamp.
Add various tests for corner cases of this code.
- Remove indexdb pre-filling from RegisterMetricNames() function, since this function is rarely called.
It is OK to add indexdb entries on demand in this function. This simplifies the code.

Previously all the newly ingested time series were registered in global `MetricName -> TSID` index.
This index was used during data ingestion for locating the TSID (internal series id)
for the given canonical metric name (the canonical metric name consists of metric name plus all its labels sorted by label names).
The `MetricName -> TSID` index is stored on disk in order to make sure that the data
isn't lost on VictoriaMetrics restart or unclean shutdown.
The lookup in this index is relatively slow, since VictoriaMetrics needs to read the corresponding
data block from disk, unpack it, put the unpacked block into `indexdb/dataBlocks` cache,
and then search for the given `MetricName -> TSID` entry there. So VictoriaMetrics
uses in-memory cache for speeding up the lookup for active time series.
This cache is named `storage/tsid`. If this cache capacity is enough for all the currently ingested
active time series, then VictoriaMetrics works fast, since it doesn't need to read the data from disk.
VictoriaMetrics starts reading data from `MetricName -> TSID` on-disk index in the following cases:
- If `storage/tsid` cache capacity isn't enough for active time series.
Then just increase available memory for VictoriaMetrics or reduce the number of active time series
ingested into VictoriaMetrics.
- If new time series is ingested into VictoriaMetrics. In this case it cannot find
the needed entry in the `storage/tsid` cache, so it needs to consult on-disk `MetricName -> TSID` index,
since it doesn't know that the index has no the corresponding entry too.
This is a typical event under high churn rate, when old time series are constantly substituted
with new time series.
Reading the data from `MetricName -> TSID` index is slow, so inserts, which lead to reading this index,
are counted as slow inserts, and they can be monitored via `vm_slow_row_inserts_total` metric exposed by VictoriaMetrics.
Prior to this commit the `MetricName -> TSID` index was global, e.g. it contained entries sorted by `MetricName`
for all the time series ever ingested into VictoriaMetrics during the configured -retentionPeriod.
This index can become very large under high churn rate and long retention. VictoriaMetrics
caches data from this index in `indexdb/dataBlocks` in-memory cache for speeding up index lookups.
The `indexdb/dataBlocks` cache may occupy significant share of available memory for storing
recently accessed blocks at `MetricName -> TSID` index when searching for newly ingested time series.
This commit switches from global `MetricName -> TSID` index to per-day index. This allows significantly
reducing the amounts of data, which needs to be cached in `indexdb/dataBlocks`, since now VictoriaMetrics
consults only the index for the current day when new time series is ingested into it.
The downside of this change is increased indexdb size on disk for workloads without high churn rate,
e.g. with static time series, which do no change over time, since now VictoriaMetrics needs to store
identical `MetricName -> TSID` entries for static time series for every day.
This change removes an optimization for reducing CPU and disk IO spikes at indexdb rotation,
since it didn't work correctly - see https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1401 .
At the same time the change fixes the issue, which could result in lost access to time series,
which stop receving new samples during the first hour after indexdb rotation - see https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2698
The issue with the increased CPU and disk IO usage during indexdb rotation will be addressed
in a separate commit according to https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1401#issuecomment-1553488685

Callers of OpenStorage() log the returned error and exit.
The error logging and exit can be performed inside MustOpenStorage()
alongside with printing the stack trace for better debuggability.
This simplifies the code at caller side.
Improperly configured -bigMergeConcurrency command-line flag usually leads to uncontrolled
growth of unmerged parts, which, in turn, increases CPU usage and query durations.
So it is better deprecating this flag. In rare cases -smallMergeConcurrency command-line flag
can be used instead for controlling the concurrency of background merges.
This commit changes background merge algorithm, so it becomes compatible with Windows file semantics.
The previous algorithm for background merge:
1. Merge source parts into a destination part inside tmp directory.
2. Create a file in txn directory with instructions on how to atomically
swap source parts with the destination part.
3. Perform instructions from the file.
4. Delete the file with instructions.
This algorithm guarantees that either source parts or destination part
is visible in the partition after unclean shutdown at any step above,
since the remaining files with instructions is replayed on the next restart,
after that the remaining contents of the tmp directory is deleted.
Unfortunately this algorithm doesn't work under Windows because
it disallows removing and moving files, which are in use.
So the new algorithm for background merge has been implemented:
1. Merge source parts into a destination part inside the partition directory itself.
E.g. now the partition directory may contain both complete and incomplete parts.
2. Atomically update the parts.json file with the new list of parts after the merge,
e.g. remove the source parts from the list and add the destination part to the list
before storing it to parts.json file.
3. Remove the source parts from disk when they are no longer used.
This algorithm guarantees that either source parts or destination part
is visible in the partition after unclean shutdown at any step above,
since incomplete partitions from step 1 or old source parts from step 3 are removed
on the next startup by inspecting parts.json file.
This algorithm should work under Windows, since it doesn't remove or move files in use.
This algorithm has also the following benefits:
- It should work better for NFS.
- It fits object storage semantics.
The new algorithm changes data storage format, so it is impossible to downgrade
to the previous versions of VictoriaMetrics after upgrading to this algorithm.
