- Allow specifying only a single HTTP header for reading auth tokens via -httpAuthHeader command-line flag.
This is better from security PoV, since this prevents from accidental reading of auth token from undesired
HTTP header. By default the -httpAuthHeader equals to Authorization. When it is overridden, then
auth token isn't read from Authorization header - it is read only from the specified header.
- Document the -httpAuthHeader command-line flag at https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmauth/#reading-auth-tokens-from-other-http-headers

* app/vmauth: properly release memory during config reload
previously metrics package hold a refrence for channels for users concurrent requests.
it case of churn at `name` field of users configuration, new metric was created. But previous one wasn't deleted.
It prevented full parsed configuration from being garbace collected.
now all config related metrics are bound to corresponding metrics.Set and unregistered during config reload process.
It also must fix an issue with incorrect values for current concurrent user requests

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.
* app/vmauth: adds metric_labels and backend_errors counter
it must improve observability for user requests with new metric - per user backend errors counter.
it's needed to calculate requests fail rate to the configured backends.
metric_labels configuration allows to perform additional aggregations on top of multiple users from configuration section.
It could be multiple clients or clients with separate read/write tokens

Previously `retry_status_codes: []` and `drop_src_path_prefix_parts: 0` at `url_map` were equivalent to missing values.
This was resulting in using the user-level values instead.
- Re-use identically configured http.Transport across multiple users.
This fixes handling of the limit on the number of connection, which can be established per each backend
via -maxIdleConnsPerBackend command-line flag. This limit stopped working after 323f3720ed
- Add docs about backend TLS setup at https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmauth.html#backend-tls-setup
- Add ability to disable backend TLS verification for all the users via -backend.tlsInsecureSkipVerify command-line flag.
This flag may be useful when -auth.config contains big number of users, and every user must disable backend TLS verification.
- Add ability to specify TLS Root CA via tls_ca_file option at per-user basis and via -backend.tlsCAFile command-line flag
across all the users.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5240
Add `tls_insecure_skip_verify` option on per-user basis which allows to disable TLS verification for all requests to backend on behalf of this user.

* expose metrics `vmauth_config_last_reload_*` for tracking the state of config reloads, similarly to vmagent/vmalert components.
* do not print logs like `SIGHUP received...` once per configured `-configCheckInterval` cmd-line flag. This log will be printed only if config reload was invoked manually.
* prevent configuration reloading if there were no changes in config. This improves memory usage when `-configCheckInterval` cmd-line flag is configured and config has extensive list of regexp expressions requiring additional memory on parsing.

vmauth: allow configuring deadline for a backend to be excluded from the rotation
The new flag `-failTimeout` allows overriding default time for a bad backend
to be excluded from rotation. The override option could be useful for systems
where it is expected for backends to be off for significant periods of time.

expose `vmauth_user_request_duration_seconds`
and `vmauth_unauthorized_user_request_duration_seconds` summary metrics
for measuring requests latency per user.

While at it, stop sending requests to unavailable backend for 3 seconds
before the next attempt. This should reduce the amounts of useless work
and the number of useless network packets when the backend is temporarily unavailable.
* app/vmauth: add concurent requests limit per auth record
* app/vmauth: added clarification comment
* app/vmauth: remove unused code
* app/vmauth: move read from limiter
* app/vmauth: fix text
* app/vmauth: fix comments
* - Clarify the docs for the max_concurrent_requests option at docs/vmauth.md
- Clarify the description of the change at docs/CHANGELOG.md
- Make sure that the -maxConcurrentRequests takes precedence over per-user max_concurrent_requests
- Update tests for verifying that the max_concurrent_requests option is parsed properly

Usernames could be duplicate if it has uniq password.
vmauth makes routing based on auth token and username + password combination must be unique for this case.
* Document the ability to specify http or https urls in `-auth.config` at docs/CHANGELOG.md
* Move the ReadFileOrHTTP to lib/fs, so it can be re-used in other places where a file
should be read from the given path. For example, in `-promscrape.config` at `vmagent`.
* add support for reading remote auth_config file via http
* fix lint
* fix defer on close body
