Previously SearchMetricNames was returning unmarshaled metric names.
This wasn't great for vmstorage, which should spend additional CPU time
for marshaling the metric names before sending them to vmselect.
While at it, remove possible duplicate metric names, which could occur when
multiple samples for new time series are ingested via concurrent requests.
Also sort the metric names before returning them to the client.
This simplifies debugging of the returned metric names across repeated requests to /api/v1/series
Previously the cache could store 10K unique regexps. When every regexp is huge (e.g. hundreds of kilobytes),
then the total cache size could grow to multiples of gigabytes. Now the cache size is limited by the total length
of all cached regexps. So huge regexps won't result in high memory usage for the cache.
Metrics `vm_partial_results_total` and `vm_requests_total` serving
the similar purpose, but contain inconsistent set of labels.
This change updates `vm_partial_results_total` labels to be consistent
with `vm_requests_total`.
The change breaks backward compatibility with assumption that
`vm_partial_results_total` wasn't widely used, since it is
not documented and absent in the alerts and dashboards.

If the previous dial attempt was unsuccessful, then all the new dial attempts are skipped
until the background goroutine determines that the given address can be successfully dialed.
This reduces query latency when some of vmstorage nodes are unavailable and dialing them is slow.
This should help with https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/711
This commit is based on ideas from the https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/2756
The main differences are:
- The check for healthy/unhealthy storage nodes is moved one level lower from app/vmselect/netstorage to lib/netutil.ConnPool.
This makes possible re-using this feature everywhere lib/netutil.ConnPool is used.
- The check doesn't take into account handshake errors for already established connections.
Handshake errors usually mean improperly configured VictoriaMetrics cluster, so they shouldn't be ignored.
* vmselect: limit `end` param max value by 2d in future
The change is applied only to service handlers like `/labels` or `/series`
and limits the `end` param by max value <= now() + 2 days. The same limit
is applied for the ingested data, so no reason to allow to request data
in future far than that.
The change is also needed for corner cases like https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/2669
where too high `end` value triggers inefficient global index search.

Suggest `-search.maxStalenessInterval=10s` instead of `-search.maxStalenessInterval=1ms`,
since `1ms` would result in empty graphs in most cases, since the interval between data points
on the graph is usually much higher than 1ms. For example, if the graph shows time range of one hour
and it contains 1000 points, then the interval between points on the graph would equal to
3600s/1000=3.6 seconds.
