This is also meant to document the actual implementation, but
see #13934 for the current state.
This also improves and streamlines some parts of the documentation
that are not strictly native histogram related, but are colocated with
them. In particular, the section about aggregation operators got
restructured quite a bit, including the removal of a quite verbose
example for `limit_ratio` (which was just too long an this location
and also a bit questionabl in its usefulness).

This fixes a formatting problem (`__name__`) was rendered in boldface
without the underscores in the headline).
Furthermore, it explains the possible issues with the feature flag
(change of behavior of certain "weird" queries, problems when
disecting a query manually or in PromLens).

Add --ignore-unknown-fields that ignores unknown fields in rule group
files. There are lots of tools in the ecosystem that "like" to extend
the rule group file structure but they are currently unreadable by
promtool if there's anything extra. The purpose of this flag is so that
we could use the "vanilla" promtool instead of rolling our own.
Some examples of tools/code:

What
Adds support for OTLP delta temporality to the OTLP endpoint.
This is done by calling the deltatocumulative processor from the OpenTelemetry collector during OTLP conversion.
Why
Delta conversion is a naturally stateful process, which requires careful request routing when operated inside a collector.
Prometheus is already stateful and doing the conversion in-server reduces the operational burden on the ingest architecture by only having one stateful component.
How
deltatocumulative is a OTel collector component that works as follows:
* pmetric.Metrics come from a receiver or in this case from the HTTP client
* It operates as an in-place update loop:
* for each sample, if not delta, leave unmodified
* if delta, do:
* state += sample, where state is the in-memory sum of all previous samples
* sample = state, sample value is now cumulative
* this is supported for sums (counters), gauges, histograms (old histograms) and exponential histograms (native histograms)
If a series receives no new samples for 5m, its state is removed from memory
Performance
Delta performance is a stateful operation and the OTel code is not highly optimized yet, e.g. it locks the entire processor for each request. Nonetheless, care has been taken to mitigate those effects:
delta conversion is behind a feature flag. If disabled, no conversion code is ever invoked
if enabled, conversion is not invoked if request not actually contains delta samples. This leads to no measureable performance difference between default-cumulative to convert-cumulative (only cumulative, feature on/off)

This commit introduced two field in `/status` endpoint:
- The node currently serving the request.
- The current server time for debugging time drift issues.

When a remote-write is executed towards a host name that is resolved to multiple IP addresses, this PR introduces a possibility to force creation of new connections used for the remote-write request to a randomly chosen IP address from the ones corresponding to the host name. The default behavior remains unchanged, i.s., the IP address used for the connection creation remains the one chosen by Go.
This is an experimental feature, it is disabled by default.
