The chunk encoding was hardcoded there because it mostly doesn't
matter what encoding is chosen in that test. Since type 1 is
battle-hardened enough, I'm switching to type 2 here so that we can
catch unexpected problems as a byproduct. My expectation is that the
chunk encoding doesn't matter anyway, as said, but then "unexpected
problems" contains the word "unexpected".
Currently missing values will get the value <no value>
rather than the empty string. Using the empty string is
more consistent, and should be easier for users to deal with too.
This is with `golint -min_confidence=0.5`.
I left several lint warnings untouched because they were either
incorrect or I felt it was better not to change them at the moment.
Changes to the UI:
- "Active Since" timestamps are now human-readable.
- Alerting rules are now pretty-printed better.
- Labels are no longer just strings, but alert bubbles (like we do on
the status page for base labels).
- Alert states and target health states are now capitalized in the
presentation layer rather than at the source.
