This adds a parameter to the storage selection interface which allows
query engine(s) to pass information about the operations surrounding a
data selection.
This can for example be used by remote storage backends to infer the
correct downsampling aggregates that need to be provided.
With the squaring of the timestamp, we run into the
limitations of the 53bit mantissa for a 64bit float.
By subtracting away a timestamp of one of the samples (which is how the
intercept is used) we avoid this issue in practice as it's unlikely
that it is used over a very long time range.
Fixes#2674
This was only relevant so far for the benchmark suite as it would
recycle Expr for repetitions. However, the append is unnecessary as
each node is only inspected once when populating iterators, and
population must always start from scratch.
This also introduces error checking during benchmarks and fixes the so
far undetected test errors during benchmarking.
Also, remove a style nit (two golint warnings less…).
