* histogram: Simplify iterators
We don't really need currLower and currUpper and can calculate it when
needed (as already done for the floatBucketIterator). The calculation
is cheap, while keeping those extra variables around costs RAM
(potentially a lot with many iterators).
* histogram: Convert Bucket/FloatBucket to one generic type
* histogram: Move some bucket iterator code into generic base iterator
* histogram: Remove cumulative iterator for FloatHistogram
We added it in the past for completeness (Histogram has one), but it
has never been used. Plus, even the cumulative iterator for Histogram
is only there for test reasons.
We can always add it back, and then maybe even using generics.

And use the new method to call to compact Histograms during
parsing. This happens for both `Histogram` and `FloatHistogram`. In
this way, if targets decide to optimize the exposition size by merging
spans with empty buckets in between, we still get a normalized
results. It will also normalize away any valid but weird
representations like empty spans, spans with offset zero, and empty
buckets at the start or end of a span.
The implementation seemed easy at first as it just turns the
`compactBuckets` helper into a generic function (which now got its own
file). However, the integer Histograms have delta buckets instead of
absolute buckets, which had to be treated specially in the generic
`compactBuckets` function. To make sure it works, I have added plenty
of explicit tests for `Histogram` in addition to the `FloatHistogram`
tests.
I have also updated the doc comment for the `Compact` method.
Based on the insights now expressed in the doc comment, compacting
with a maxEmptyBuckets > 0 is rarely useful. Therefore, this commit
also sets the value to 0 in the two cases we were using 3 so far. We
might still want to reconsider, so I don't want to remove the
maxEmptyBuckets parameter right now.

If the zero threshold overlaps with the highest negative bucket and/or
the lowest positive bucket, its upper or lower boundary, respectively,
has to be adjusted. In valid histograms, only ever the highest
negative bucket and/or the lowest positive bucket may overlap with the
zero bucket. This is assumed in this code to simplify the checks.
