Also, fix problems in shutdown.
Starting serving and shutdown still has to be cleaned up properly.
It's a mess.

- Always spell out the time unit (e.g. milliseconds instead of ms).
- Remove "_total" from the names of metrics that are not counters.
- Make use of the "Namespace" and "Subsystem" fields in the options.
- Removed the "capacity" facet from all metrics about channels/queues.
These are all fixed via command line flags and will never change
during the runtime of a process. Also, they should not be part of
the same metric family. I have added separate metrics for the
capacity of queues as convenience. (They will never change and are
only set once.)
- I left "metric_disk_latency_microseconds" unchanged, although that
metric measures the latency of the storage device, even if it is not
a spinning disk. "SSD" is read by many as "solid state disk", so
it's not too far off. (It should be "solid state drive", of course,
but "metric_drive_latency_microseconds" is probably confusing.)
- Brian suggested to not mix "failure" and "success" outcome in the
same metric family (distinguished by labels). For now, I left it as
it is. We are touching some bigger issue here, especially as other
parts in the Prometheus ecosystem are following the same
principle. We still need to come to terms here and then change
things consistently everywhere.

Having metrics with variable timestamps inconsistently
spaced when things fail will make it harder to write correct rules.
Update status page, requires some refactoring to insert a function.

Now that the subtle bug in matttproud/golang_protobuf_extensions is
fixed, we do not need to copy the bytes of a scrape into a buffer
first before starting to parse it.

So far we've been using Go's native time.Time for anything related to sample
timestamps. Since the range of time.Time is much bigger than what we need, this
has created two problems:
- there could be time.Time values which were out of the range/precision of the
time type that we persist to disk, therefore causing incorrectly ordered keys.
One bug caused by this was:
https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/367
It would be good to use a timestamp type that's more closely aligned with
what the underlying storage supports.
- sizeof(time.Time) is 192, while Prometheus should be ok with a single 64-bit
Unix timestamp (possibly even a 32-bit one). Since we store samples in large
numbers, this seriously affects memory usage. Furthermore, copying/working
with the data will be faster if it's smaller.
*MEMORY USAGE RESULTS*
Initial memory usage comparisons for a running Prometheus with 1 timeseries and
100,000 samples show roughly a 13% decrease in total (VIRT) memory usage. In my
tests, this advantage for some reason decreased a bit the more samples the
timeseries had (to 5-7% for millions of samples). This I can't fully explain,
but perhaps garbage collection issues were involved.
*WHEN TO USE THE NEW TIMESTAMP TYPE*
The new clientmodel.Timestamp type should be used whenever time
calculations are either directly or indirectly related to sample
timestamps.
For example:
- the timestamp of a sample itself
- all kinds of watermarks
- anything that may become or is compared to a sample timestamp (like the timestamp
passed into Target.Scrape()).
When to still use time.Time:
- for measuring durations/times not related to sample timestamps, like duration
telemetry exporting, timers that indicate how frequently to execute some
action, etc.
*NOTE ON OPERATOR OPTIMIZATION TESTS*
We don't use operator optimization code anymore, but it still lives in
the code as dead code. It still has tests, but I couldn't get all of them to
pass with the new timestamp format. I commented out the failing cases for now,
but we should probably remove the dead code soon. I just didn't want to do that
in the same change as this.

This adds search domain support by trying to resolve a name by
appending each search domain configured in /etc/resolv.conf until
the query succeeds (NOERROR) and has at least one answer.

This includes required refactorings to enable replacing the http client (for
testing) and moving the NotificationReq type definitions to the "notifications"
package, so that this package doesn't need to depend on "rules" anymore and
that it can instead use a representation of the required data which only
includes the necessary fields.
This commit forces the extraction framework to read the entire response payload
into a buffer before attempting to decode it, for the underlying Protocol Buffer
message readers do not block on partial messages.
