Due to on going issues, we've decided to remove gorest. It started with gorest
not being thread-safe (it does introspection to create a new handler which is
an easy process to mess up with multiple threads of execution):

While the issue has been marked fixed, it looks like the patch has introduced
more problems than the original issue and simply doesn't work properly.
I'm not sure the behaviour was thought through properly. If a new instance is
needed every request then a handler-factory is needed or the library needs to
set expectations about how the new objects should interact with their
constructor state.
While it was tempting to try out another routing library, I think for now
it's better to use dumb vanilla Go routing. At least until we decide which
URL format we intend to standardize on.

This roughly comprises the following changes:
- index target pools by job instead of scrape interval
- make targets within a pool exchangable while preserving existing
health state for targets
- allow exchanging targets via HTTP API (PUT)
- show target lists in /status (experimental, for own debug use)
