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.

The change also introduces `List` method to `FS` interface.
The `List` method can be used for wildcard support in object storage FS.

- Sync the description for -httpListenAddr.useProxyProtocol command-line flag at vmagent and vmauth,
so it is consistent with the description at vmauth and victoria-metrics
- Add a sample of panic text to docs/CHANGELOG.md, so it could be googled
- Mention the -httpListenAddr.useProxyProtocol command-line flag in the description for the bugfix

Each group in vmalert starts with an artifical delay to avoid
thundering herd problem. For some groups with high evaluation
intervals, the delay could be significant.
If during this delay user will remove the group from the config
and hot-reload it - vmalert will have to wait until the delay
ends. This results into slow config reloading and UI hang.
The change moves the start-delay logic back to the group's
`start` method. Now, group can immediately exit from the
delay when `group.close()` method is called.

app/vmctl: vm-native - split migration on per-metric basis
`vm-native` mode now splits the migration process on per-metric basis.
This allows to migrate metrics one-by-one according to the specified filter.
This change allows to retry export/import requests for a specific metric and provides a better
understanding of the migration progress.

When group's update() or close() method is called, the group
still need to wait for its current evaluation to finish.
Sometimes, evaluation could take a significant amount of time
which slows configuration update or vmalert's graceful shutdown.
The change interrupts current evaluation in order to speed up
the graceful shutdown or config update procedures.

- Use flag.Duration instead of flagutil.Duration for -snapshotCreateTimeout,
since the flagutil.Duration is intended mostly for big durations, e.g. days, months and years,
while the -snapshotCreateTimeout is usually smaller than one hour.
- Add links to https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#how-to-work-with-snapshots in docs/CHANGELOG.md,
so readers could easily find the corresponding docs when reading the changelog.
- Properly remove all the created directories on unsuccessful attempt to create
snapshot in Storage.CreateSnapshot().
