promqltest: Complete the tests for info annotations
So far, we did not test for the _absence_ of an info annotation
(because many tests triggered info annotations, which we haven't taken
into account so far).
The test for info annotations was also missed for range queries.
This completes the tests for info annotations (and refactors the many
`if` statements into a somewhat more compact `switch` statement).
It fixes most tests to not emit an info annotation anymore. Or it
changes the `eval` to `eval_info` where we actually want to test for
the info annotation.
It also fixes a few spelling errors in comments.

PromQL engine: Delay deletion of __name__ label to the end of the query evaluation
- This change allows optionally preserving the `__name__` label via the `label_replace` and `label_join` functions, and helps prevent the dreaded "vector cannot contain metrics with the same labelset" error.
- The implementation extends the `Series` and `Sample` structs with a boolean flag indicating whether the `__name__` label should be deleted at the end of the query evaluation.
- The `label_replace` and `label_join` functions can still access the value of the `__name__` label, even if it has been previously marked for deletion. If `__name__` is used as target label, it won't be dropped at the end of the query evaluation.
- Fixes https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/11397
- See https://github.com/jcreixell/prometheus/pull/2 for previous discussion, including the decision to create this PR and benchmark it before considering other alternatives (like refactoring `labels.Labels`).
- See https://github.com/jcreixell/prometheus/pull/1 for an alternative implementation using a special label instead of boolean flags.
- Note: a feature flag `promql-delayed-name-removal` has been added as it changes the behavior of some "weird" queries (see https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/11397#issuecomment-1451998792)
Example (this always fails, as `__name__` is being dropped by `count_over_time`):
```
count_over_time({__name__!=""}[1m])
=> Error executing query: vector cannot contain metrics with the same labelset
```
Before:
```
label_replace(count_over_time({__name__!=""}[1m]), "__name__", "count_$1", "__name__", "(.+)")
=> Error executing query: vector cannot contain metrics with the same labelset
```
After:
```
label_replace(count_over_time({__name__!=""}[1m]), "__name__", "count_$1", "__name__", "(.+)")
=>
count_go_gc_cycles_automatic_gc_cycles_total{instance="localhost:9090", job="prometheus"} 1
count_go_gc_cycles_forced_gc_cycles_total{instance="localhost:9090", job="prometheus"} 1
...
```
