rules for checking vmalert's health state and is recommended
to use for monitoring vmalert deployments.

Previously the `quotesEscape` function was escaping only double quotes.
This wasn't enough, since the input string could contain other special chars,
which must be escaped when put inside JSON string. For example, carriage return and line feed chars (\n\r),
backslash char, etc. This led to the following issues, which were improperly fixed:
- https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/890 - this issue
was "fixed" by introducing the `crlfEscape` function, which led to unnecessary
complications in user templates, while not fixing various corner cases
such as backslash chars in the input string.
See 1de15ad490
- https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3139 - this issue
was "fixed" by urlencoding the whole string passed to -external.alert.source
command-line flag. This led to invalid urls, which couldn't be parsed by Grafana.
See 00c838353d
and 4bd0244599
This commit properly encodes the input string passed to `quotesEscape`, so it can be safely embedded inside JSON strings.
This commit deprecates crlfEscape template function and adds the following new template functions:
- strvalue and stripDomain - these functions are supported by Prometheus, so they were added
for compatibility purposes.
- jsonEscape and htmlEscape for converting the input string to valid quoted JSON string
and for html-escaping the input string, so it could be safely embedded as a plaintext
into html.
This commit also documents all supported template functions at https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert.html#template-functions
The deprecated crlfEscape function isn't documented on purpose, since its usefulness is negative in general case.
This reverts commit 00c838353d.
Reason for revert: it incorrectly fixes the issue https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3139 .
Now `-external.alert.source=explore?orgId=1&left=...` is converted to the following invalid url, which cannot be handled by Grafana:
https://grafana.example.com/explore%3ForgId%3D1%26left%3D...
The next commit will contain the correct fix of the issue - the `quotesEscape` function must
properly escape the string, so it could be embedded into JSON string. This function must
properly escape \n\r chars too. In this case the `crlfEscape` function becomes unnecessary.
Actually, the next commit makes the `crlfEscape` function deprecated.
The message about dropped data still remains at `error` level.
The change supposed to make log message more clear about how
serious it is.

vmalert: prevent duplicating label `alertname` for notifications

Sort labels explicitly after calling the ParsedConfigs.Apply() when needed.
This reduces CPU usage when performing metric-level relabeling, where labels' sorting isn't needed.
* Use vm_account_id and vm_project_id labels to be consistent with https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.html#multitenancy-via-labels
* Document the feature that vmalert now exposes vm_account_id and vm_project_id
labels if -clusterMode is set.
* Use literal strings instead of string constants for vm_account_id and vm_project_id.
This improves code readability.
The change is supposed to provide additional flexibility for generating alert's
source link based on label values.

According to Ruler specification, only labels returned within time series
should be available for use in annotations.
For long time, vmalert didn't respect this rule. And in PR
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/2403
this was fixed for the sake of compatibility. However, this resulted
into users confusion, as they expected all configured and extra labels
to be available - https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3013
This fix allows to use extra labels in Annotations. But in the case of conflicts
the original labels (extracted from time series) are preferred.

- Clarify the description for -datasource.queryStep command-line flag
- Consistently use a single dash in front of -datasource.queryStep command-line flag
- Update -help output at docs/vmalert.md
- Consistently use single dash in front of command-line flags instead of double dashes.
- Add a warning that too small -search.latencyOffset may lead to incomplete query results.
Change default value for command-line flag `datasource.queryStep` from `0s` to `5m`.
Param `step` is added by vmalert to every rule evaluation request sent to datasource.
Before this change, `step` was equal to group's evaluation interval by default.
Param `step` for instant queries defines how far VM can look back for the last written data point.
The change supposed to improve reliability of the rules evaluation when evaluation interval
is lower than scraping interval.

* vmalert: always re-evaluate Annotations
Previously, Annotations were evaluated only:
1. On alert creating.
2. On alert's value change.
This is premature optimization. It was assumed that since annotations
could contain only text with alert's labels or value - there is no need
in spending resources to re-compile Annotations.
Later, template function `query` was added, which can execute
arbitrary queries and return different results on every evaluation.
So if it was used in annotations, it would be executed only on init
or value change.
Another case when optimization caused an issue - annotations hot reload.
In this case, annotations of the active alert won't change even if Rule's
annotations were changed.
This fix enables Annotations re-evaluation on each iteration to resolve
issues above. It would have some impact on performance, but it is unlikely
it will be noticeable.

with format args directly to logDebugf(). This eliminates fmt.Sprintf()
overhead at logDebug() call site when debugging is disabled.
