promql, tsdb (histograms): Do not re-use spans between histograms
When multiple points exist with the same native histogram schemas they
share their spans.
This causes a problem when a native histogram (NH) schema is modified (for example, during
a Sum) then the other NH's with the same spans are also modified. As such,
we should create a new Span for each NH. This will ensure NH's interfaces
are safe to use without considering the effect on other histograms.
At the moment this doesn't present itself as a problem because in all
aggregations and functions operating on native histograms they are copied
by the promql query engine first.

Iterator may share spans without copy, so we always have to make a copy
before modification - copy-on-write.

* chunkenc: allow missing empty buckets on histogram append
Allow appending to chunks when the histogram to be added is missing
some buckets, but the missing buckets are empty in the chunk.
For example bucket at index 5 is present in the chunk, but its value
is 0 and the new histogram doesn't have a bucket at index 5.
This fixes an issue of merging chunks where one chunk was recoded to
retroactively have some empty buckets in all the histograms and we are
merging in a histogram that doesn't have the empty bucket (because it
was not recoded yet).
The operation alters the histogram that is being added, however this has
already been the case when appending gauge histograms. Thus the test
TestHistogramSeriesToChunks in storage package is changed to explicitly
test what happened to the appended histogram - Compact(0) call is removed.
The new expandIntSpansAndBuckets and expandFloatSpansAndBuckets functions
are a merge of expandSpansForward and counterResetInAnyBucket and
counterResetInAnyFloatBucket.

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`).

* Fix histogram append errors
We should check counterReset condition rather than okToAppend because if
there's a counter reset, okToAppend is always set to false.

The code did not handle spans with 0 length properly.
Spans with length zero are now skipped in the comparison.
Span index check not done against length-1, since length is a unit32,
thus subtracting 1 leads to 2^32, not -1.
Fixes and unit tests for both integer and float histograms added.

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.

This is a bit more conservative than we could be. As long as a chunk
isn't the first in a block, we can be pretty sure that the previous
chunk won't disappear. However, the incremental gain of returning
NotCounterReset in these cases is probably very small and might not be
worth the code complications.
Wwith this, we now also pay attention to an explicitly set counter
reset during ingestion. While the case doesn't show up in practice
yet, there could be scenarios where the metric source knows there was
a counter reset even if it might not be visible from the values in the
histogram. It is also useful for testing.

- Adjust doc comments to go1.19 style.
- Break down some overly long lines.
- Minor doc comment tweaks and fixes.
- Some renaming.
Some rationales for the last point:
I have renamed “interjections” into “inserts”, mostly because it is
shorter, and the word shows up a lot by now (and the concept is
cryptic enough to not obfuscate it even more with abbreviations).
I have also tried to find more descriptive naming for the “compare
spans” functions.

This is to check if a gauge histogram can be appended to the given chunk.
If not, it tells what changes to make to the chunk and the histogram
if possible.

This adds negative buckets and access of float histograms to
TestHistogramChunkSameBuckets and TestHistogramChunkBucketChanges.
It also exercises a specific pattern of reusing an iterator (one where
no access has happened).
This exposes two bugs (where entries for positive buckets where used
where the corresponding entries for negative buckets should have been
used). One was fixed in #11627 (not merged), which triggered the work
in this commit.
This commit fixes both issues, so #11627 can be closed.
It also simplifies the code in the histogramIterator.Next method that
aims to recycle existing slice capacity.
Furthermore, this is on top of the release-2.40 branch because we
should probably cut a bugfix release for this.

With these changes, the "happy path" when the leading and trailing
number of bits don't need an update, fewer operations are needed.
The change is probably very marginal (no change in the benchmark added
here, but the benchmark also doesn't cover non-changing values), and
an argument could me made that avoiding pointers also has its
benefits.
However, I think that reducing the number of return values improves
readability. Which convinced me that I should at least propose this.

- 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.
