Optimize histogram iterators
Histogram iterators allocate new objects in the AtHistogram and
AtFloatHistogram methods, which makes calculating rates over long
ranges expensive.
In #13215 we allowed an existing object to be reused
when converting an integer histogram to a float histogram. This commit follows
the same idea and allows injecting an existing object in the AtHistogram and
AtFloatHistogram methods. When the injected value is nil, iterators allocate
new histograms, otherwise they populate and return the injected object.
The commit also adds a CopyTo method to Histogram and FloatHistogram which
is used in the BufferedIterator to overwrite items in the ring instead of making
new copies.
Note that a specialized HPoint pool is needed for all of this to work
(`matrixSelectorHPool`).

The 'ToFloat' method on integer histograms currently allocates new memory
each time it is called.
This commit adds an optional *FloatHistogram parameter that can be used
to reuse span and bucket slices. It is up to the caller to make sure the
input float histogram is not used anymore after the call.

Two issues are fixed here, that lead to the same problem:
1. If `newSampleRing` is called with an unknown ValueType including
ValueNone, we have initialized the interface buffer (`iBuf`).
However, we would still use a specialized buffer for the first
sample, opportunistically assuming that we might still not
encounter mixed samples and we should go down the more efficient
road.
2. If the `sampleRing` is `reset`, we leave all buffers alone,
including `iBuf`, which is generally fine, but not for `iBuf`, see
below.
In both cases, `iBuf` already contains values, but we will fill one of
the specialized buffers first. Once we then actually encounter mixed
samples, the content of the specialized buffer is copied into `iBuf`
using `append`. That's by itself the right idea because `iBuf` might
be `nil`, and even if not, it might or might not have the right
capacity. However, this approach assumes that `iBuf` is empty, or more
precisely has a length of zero.
This commit makes sure that `iBuf` does not get needlessly initialized
in `newSampleRing` and that it is emptied upon `reset`.
A test case is added to demonstrate both issues above.

We haven't updated golint-ci in our CI yet, but this commit prepares
for that.
There are a lot of new warnings, and it is mostly because the "revive"
linter got updated. I agree with most of the new warnings, mostly
around not naming unused function parameters (although it is justified
in some cases for documentation purposes – while things like mocks are
a good example where not naming the parameter is clearer).
I'm pretty upset about the "empty block" warning to include `for`
loops. It's such a common pattern to do something in the head of the
`for` loop and then have an empty block. There is still an open issue
about this: https://github.com/mgechev/revive/issues/810 I have
disabled "revive" altogether in files where empty blocks are used
excessively, and I have made the effort to add individual
`// nolint:revive` where empty blocks are used just once or twice.
It's borderline noisy, though, but let's go with it for now.
I should mention that none of the "empty block" warnings for `for`
loop bodies were legitimate.

Fixed lint
In the past, every sample value was a float, so it was fine to call a
variable holding such a float "value" or "sample". With native
histograms, a sample might have a histogram value. And a histogram
value is still a value. Calling a float value just "value" or "sample"
or "V" is therefore misleading. Over the last few commits, I already
renamed many variables, but this cleans up a few more places where the
changes are more invasive.
Note that we do not to attempt naming in the JSON APIs or in the
protobufs. That would be quite a disruption. However, internally, we
can call variables as we want, and we should go with the option of
avoiding misunderstandings.

This utilizes the fact that most sampleRings will only contain samples
of one type. In this case, the generic interface is circumvented, and
a bespoke buffer for the one actually occurring sample type is
used. Should a sampleRing receive a sample of a different kind later,
it will transparently switch to the generic behavior.

Previously, we had one “polymorphous” `sample` type in the `storage`
package. This commit breaks it up into `fSample`, `hSample`, and
`fhSample`, each still implementing the `tsdbutil.Sample` interface.
This reduces allocations in `sampleRing.Add` but inflicts the penalty
of the interface wrapper, which makes things worse in total.
This commit therefore just demonstrates the step taken. The next
commit will tackle the interface overhead problem.

In most cases, there is no sample at `maxt`, so `PeekBack` has to be
used. So far, `PeekBack` did not return a float histogram, and we
disregarded even any returned normal histogram. This fixes both, and
also tweaks the unit test to discover the problem (by using an earlier
timestamp than "now" for the samples in the TSDB).

`BufferedSeriesIterator` and `MemoizedSeriesIterator` use a method
called `Values` for exactly the purpose for which all other iterators
of the same kind use a method called `At`. That alone is confusing,
but on top of that, the `Values` method only returns a single sample,
not multiple values. I assume the naming has historical reasons. This
commit makes it more consistent. It is now easier to read, and now
`BufferedSeriesIterator` and `MemoizedSeriesIterator` implement
`chunkenc.Iterator` like many other iterators, too.

- Pick At... method via return value of Next/Seek.
- Do not clobber returned buckets.
- Add partial FloatHistogram suppert.
Note that the promql package is now _only_ dealing with
FloatHistograms, following the idea that PromQL only knows float
values.
As a byproduct, I have removed the histogramSeries metric. In my
understanding, series can have both float and histogram samples, so
that metric doesn't make sense anymore.
As another byproduct, I have converged the sampleBuf and the
histogramSampleBuf in memSeries into one. The sample type stored in
the sampleBuf has been extended to also contain histograms even before
this commit.

A lot of this code was hacked together, literally during a
hackathon. This commit intends not to change the code substantially,
but just make the code obey the usual style practices.
A (possibly incomplete) list of areas:
* Generally address linter warnings.
* The `pgk` directory is deprecated as per dev-summit. No new packages should
be added to it. I moved the new `pkg/histogram` package to `model`
anticipating what's proposed in #9478.
* Make the naming of the Sparse Histogram more consistent. Including
abbreviations, there were just too many names for it: SparseHistogram,
Histogram, Histo, hist, his, shs, h. The idea is to call it "Histogram" in
general. Only add "Sparse" if it is needed to avoid confusion with
conventional Histograms (which is rare because the TSDB really has no notion
of conventional Histograms). Use abbreviations only in local scope, and then
really abbreviate (not just removing three out of seven letters like in
"Histo"). This is in the spirit of
https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/CodeReviewComments#variable-names
* Several other minor name changes.
* A lot of formatting of doc comments. For one, following
https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/CodeReviewComments#comment-sentences
, but also layout question, anticipating how things will look like
when rendered by `godoc` (even where `godoc` doesn't render them
right now because they are for unexported types or not a doc comment
at all but just a normal code comment - consistency is queen!).
* Re-enabled `TestQueryLog` and `TestEndopints` (they pass now,
leaving them disabled was presumably an oversight).
* Bucket iterator for histogram.Histogram is now created with a
method.
* HistogramChunk.iterator now allows iterator recycling. (I think
@dieterbe only commented it out because he was confused by the
question in the comment.)
* HistogramAppender.Append panics now because we decided to treat
staleness marker differently.

## Rationales:
In many places (e.g. chunk Remote read, Thanos Receive fetching chunk from TSDB), we operate on encoded chunks not samples.
This means that we unnecessary decode/encode, wasting CPU, time and memory.
This PR adds chunk iterator interfaces and makes the merge code to be reused between both seriesSets
I will make the use of it in following PR inside tsdb itself. For now fanout implements it and mergers.
All merges now also allows passing series mergers. This opens doors for custom deduplications other than TSDB vertical ones (e.g. offline one we have in Thanos).
## Changes
* Added Chunk versions of all iterating methods. It all starts in Querier/ChunkQuerier. The plan is that
Storage will implement both chunked and samples.
* Added Seek to chunks.Iterator interface for iterating over chunks.
* NewMergeChunkQuerier was added; Both this and NewMergeQuerier are now using generigMergeQuerier to share the code. Generic code was added.
* Improved tests.
* Added some TODO for further simplifications in next PRs.

This is part of https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/pull/5882 that can be done to simplify things.
All todos I added will be fixed in follow up PRs.
* querier.Querier, querier.Appender, querier.SeriesSet, and querier.Series interfaces merged
with storage interface.go. All imports that.
* querier.SeriesIterator replaced by chunkenc.Iterator
* Added chunkenc.Iterator.Seek method and tests for xor implementation (?)
* Since we properly handle SelectParams for Select methods I adjusted min max
based on that. This should help in terms of performance for queries with functions like offset.
* added Seek to deletedIterator and test.
* storage/tsdb was removed as it was only a unnecessary glue with incompatible structs.
No logic was changed, only different source of abstractions, so no need for benchmarks.
