reduce the number of queries for restoring alerts state on start-up.
The change should speed up the restore process and reduce pressure on `remoteRead.url`.
Strip sensitive information such as auth headers or passwords from datasource, remote-read,
remote-write or notifier URLs in log messages or UI. This behavior is by default and is controlled via
`-datasource.showURL`, `-remoteRead.showURL`, `remoteWrite.showURL` or `-notifier.showURL` cmd-line flags.

* vmalert: support logs suppressing during config reloads
The change is mostly required for ENT version of vmalert,
since it supports object-storage for config files.
Reading data from object storage could be time-consuming,
so vmalert emits logs to track the progress.
However, these logs are mostly needed on start or on
manual config reload. Printing these logs each time
`rule.configCheckInterval` is triggered would too verbose.
So the change allows to control logs emitting during
config reloads.
Now, logs are emitted during start up or when SIGHUP is receieved.
For periodicall config checks logs emitted by config pkg are suppressed.

- 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
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/3335
- Document the change at docs/CHANGELOG.md
- Add `Reading rules from object storage` section to docs/vmalert.md
- Add `s3` prefix to command-line flags related to the configuration of s3 and gcs clients
- Explicitly mention that reading rules from object storage is supported only in enterprise version
* vmalert: support object storage for rules
Support loading of alerting and recording rules from object
storages `gcs://`, `gs://`, `s3://`.
* review fixes
* vmalert: speed up state restore procedure on start
Alerts state restore procedure has been changed to become asynchronous.
It doesn't block groups start anymore which significantly improves vmalert's startup time.
Instead, state restore is called by each group in their goroutines after the first rules
evaluation.
While previously state restore attempt was made for all loaded alerting rules,
now it is called only for alerts which became active after the first evaluation.
This reduces the amount of API calls to the configured remote read URL.
This also means that `remoteRead.ignoreRestoreErrors` command-line flag becomes deprecated now
and will have no effect if configured.

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 change is supposed to provide additional flexibility for generating alert's
source link based on label values.

We switch default alert's source link to redirect user
to vmalert's UI instead of previous JSON object. While it breaks
compatibility, it also supposed to improve user's experience.
The old behavior can be achieved by updating `-external.alert.source`
command-line flag.

Other components, such as `vmagent`, mark these flags as sensitive and
hide them from the `/metrics` endpoint by default. This commit adds
similar handling to the `vmalert` component, hiding them by default, to
prevent logging of secrets inappropriately.
Showing of these values is controlled by an additional flag.

* vmalert: deprecate alert's status link
Deprecate alert's status link `/api/v1/<groupID>/<alertID>/status` in favour of
`api/v1/alerts?group_id=<group_id>&alert_id=<alert_id>"`.
The change was needed for simplifying logic in vmselect for proxying vmalert's requests.
The old alert's status link will be still supported for a few versions but will be removed in the future.

* vmalert: fix review comments
Signed-off-by: hagen1778 <roman@victoriametrics.com>
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.
