With v0.16.0 Alertmanager introduced a new API (v2). This patch adds a
configuration option for Prometheus to send alerts to the v2 endpoint
instead of the defautl v1 endpoint.

The usage of govalidator is redundant with the call to url.Parse for
url validation. Removing it has the following benefits:
- The explicit error message is displayed instead of just a generic
valid/invalid message
- Slightly smaller code with one fewer external dependency
- Speed improvement by removing duplicate call to url.Parse (inside
govalidator.IsURL()
- Resolves issue #2717
The only potential drawback of removing govalidator is that certain
URLs will be considered valid which were previously invalid. For example:
- URLs with hostnames that start and/or end with an underscore (http://_example.com_)
- URLs with hostnames that contain some special characters (http://foo&*bar.org)
These are valid URIs according to RFC 3986 and valid domain names per RFC 2181,
however they are not valid hostnames per RFC 952.
