Mixin: Fix mixin linting
In accordance with a new rule introduced as part of https://github.com/grafana/dashboard-linter/pull/79 this is now required. However, for the new rule of `panel-unit-rule` we don't reap any benefits from specifiying a particular unit for our panels, the defaults work perfectly fine so they're ignored.

Alertmanager Mixin

The Alertmanager Mixin is a set of configurable, reusable, and extensible alerts (and eventually dashboards) for Alertmanager.

The alerts are designed to monitor a cluster of Alertmanager instances. To make them work as expected, the Prometheus server the alerts are evaluated on has to scrape all Alertmanager instances of the cluster, even if those instances are distributed over different locations. All Alertmanager instances in the same Alertmanager cluster must have the same job label. In turn, if monitoring multiple different Alertmanager clusters, instances from different clusters must have a different job label.

The most basic use of the Alertmanager Mixin is to create a YAML file with the alerts from it. To do so, you need to have jsonnetfmt and mixtool installed. If you have a working Go development environment, it's easiest to run the following:

$ go get github.com/monitoring-mixins/mixtool/cmd/mixtool
$ go get github.com/google/go-jsonnet/cmd/jsonnetfmt

Edit config.libsonnet to match your environment and then build alertmanager_alerts.yaml with the alerts by running:

$ make build
