docs: Querying basics: remove what can be graphed

Viet Hung Nguyen f0a9f62ce8 [DOCS] Querying basics: what can be graphed
Put a scalar to query, it can be graphed.

So the doc says "an expression that returns an instant vector is the only type which can be graphed." is not correct?

And also, a query_range, which used for graph, always return a range vector <https://promlabs.com/blog/2020/06/18/the-anatomy-of-a-promql-query/#range-queries> , so it's confusing to read the above statement.

Craig Ringer 15b68e989c Refer to staleness in instant vector documentation
The instant vector documentation does not explain which metric samples are selected - in particular, it makes no reference to staleness.

It's confusing when reading the docs to understand how exactly Prometheus selects the metrics to report: the most recent sample older than the search timestamp specified in the API request, so long as that metric is not "stale".

Bryan Boreham cc7dcf5afe [DOCS] Querying basics: explain range and instant queries
I often see people ask questions that indicate they don't understand
this point, and launching into "instant vector" and "range vector" is
likely to point them in the wrong direction.

Remove the admonishment that the reader mustn't confuse these things.
Remove mention of "inferred sample timestamps" that is never explained.

beorn7 b39f2739e5 PromQL: Always enable negative offset and @ modifier
This follows the line of argument that the invariant of not looking
ahead of the query time was merely emerging behavior and not a
documented stable feature. Any query that looks ahead of the query
time was simply invalid before the introduction of the negative offset
and the @ modifier.

'@ <timestamp>' modifier (#8121)
This commit adds `@ <timestamp>` modifier as per this design doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uSbD3T2beM-iX4-Hp7V074bzBRiRNlqUdcWP6JTDQSs/edit.

An example query:

```
rate(process_cpu_seconds_total[1m]) 
  and
topk(7, rate(process_cpu_seconds_total[1h] @ 1234))
```

which ranks based on last 1h rate and w.r.t. unix timestamp 1234 but actually plots the 1m rate.
