* Allow to tune the scrape tolerance
In most of the classic monitoring use cases, a few milliseconds
difference can be omitted.
In Prometheus, a few millisecond difference can however make a big
difference.
Currently, Prometheus will ignore up to 2 ms difference in the
alignments.
It turns out that for users who can afford a 10ms difference, there is a
lot of resources and disk space to win, as shown in this graph, which
shows the bytes / samples over a production Prometheus server. You can
clearly see the switch from 2ms to 10ms tolerance.
This pull request enables the adjustment of the scrape timestamp
alignment tolerance.
