- Unmarshall external_labels config as labels.Labels, add tests.
- Convert some more uses of model.LabelSet to labels.Labels.
- Remove old relabel pkg (fixes#3647).
- Validate external label names.

This PR adds the `/status/config` endpoint which exposes the currently
loaded Prometheus config. This is the same config that is displayed on
`/config` in the UI in YAML format. The response payload looks like
such:
```
{
"status": "success",
"data": {
"yaml": <CONFIG>
}
}
```
This is needed for federating non-instance level metrics, so they don't
end up with the instance label of the prometheus target.
Also sort external labels, so label output order is consistent.
This will avoid duplicate MetricFamilies, thereby shrinking the size
of the federation payload and also creating legal text format.
Also, add unit tests for federation. They were also needed for the
previous state of the code, but were missing.
