Before, relabeling for notifier configured via file was supported
only for target labels discovered via SD.
With this change, new config field `alert_relabel_configs` is introduced
for applying relabeling to labels of sent alerts.

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.

* vmalert: support rules backfilling (aka `replay`)
vmalert can `replay` configured rules in the past
and backfill results via remote write protocol.
It supports MetricsQL/PromQL storage as data source,
and can backfill data to remote write compatible
storage.
Supports recording and alerting rules `replay`. See more
details in README.

* vmalert: review fixes
* vmalert: readme fixes
The commit adds a support for template function `query`,
`first` and `value`. The function `query` executes
a MetricsQL query for active alerts. In vmalert we
update templates on every evaluation for active alerts
to keep them up to date. With `query` func it may become
a perf issue since it will fire a query on every execution.
We should keep it in mind for now.

app/vmalert: Support custom URL for alerts source
Add flag `external.alert.source` for configuring custom URL
for alert's source. This may be handy to re-point default source
URL to other systems like Grafana.
Updates #517
* Initial rules evaluation support.
Rules are now store alerts state in private field `alerts`. Every evaluation updates
the alerts and state. Every unique metric received from datastore represents a unique alert,
uniqueness is guaranteed by hashing ordered labelset.
* merge with master
* cleanup
* support endAt parameter as 3*evaluationInterval for active alerts
* make golint happy
