**What is this feature?**
This PR implements a new Prometheus historian backend that allows Grafana alerting to write alert state history as Prometheus-compatible `ALERTS` metrics to remote Prometheus-compatible data sources.
The metric includes a few additional labels:
* `grafana_alertstate`: Grafana's full alert state, more granular than Prometheus.
* `grafana_rule_uid`: Grafana's alert rule UID.
Grafana states are included in the `grafana_alertstate` label also mapped to Prometheus-compatible `alertstate` values:
| Grafana alert state | `alertstate` | `grafana_alertstate` |
|---------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------|
| `Alerting` | `firing` | `alerting` |
| `Recovering` | `firing` | `recovering` |
| `Pending` | `pending` | `pending` |
| `Error` | `firing` | `error` |
| `NoData` | `firing` | `nodata` |
| `Normal` | _(no metric emitted)_ | _(no metric emitted)_ |
* refactor `selectorString` and remove Selector struct
* move code from selector string to BuildLogQuery
* batch requests by folder UID
* update historian annotation store to handle multiple queries
* sort folder uids to make consistent queries
* add logs to loki http
* log batch size but not content. content is logged by the client
* handle metadata map nil
* remove double context
* clean up logging in scheduler
* do not reuse loggers from previous ticks
* log the dropped tick
* log tick instead of ticknum
* replace with processing tick logs
* log sending notifications
* update logging in persister to fetch context
* logs to historian
moved them upstream to be able to log when store is overridden
* add method CanReadAllRules to rule authorization service
* add alias type Namespace for Folder in ngalert's models package. It implements the Namespacer interface that is used by authz logic
* update state history's backends to authorize access to rules.
* update Loki to add folders UIDs to query.
* Update BuildLogQuery to drop filter by folders if it's too long and fall back to in-memory filtering.
* Add TracedClient
* Handle errors and status codes
* Wire up tracing to normal ASH and loki annotation mapping
* Add tracing to remote alertmanager
* one more spot
* and not or
* More consistency with other grafana traces, lower cardinality name
* Implement keep last state for state transitions
* Respect For duration when keeping state
* Only keep transition from recording an annotation
* Add keep last state option for nodata/error in UI
* Move scope type vars to testutil package
* Expose parts of state historian for use in annotation backend
* Implement Loki ASH Annotation store
This store will only implement the `Get` method of a RepositoryImpl since alert state history
writes to Loki elsewhere.
* Use interface for Loki HTTP Client
* Add tests for Loki ASH Annotation store
* Add missing test
* Fix lint
* Organize tests
* Add filter tests
* Improve tests
* Move filter logic into outer function
* Fix lint
* Add comment
* Fix tests
* Fix lint
* Rename historian store + refactor
* Cleanup historian store
* Fix tests
* Minor cleanup
* Use new `ShouldRecordAnnotation` filter
* Fix logic and add tests for this check
* Fix typos, remove unused variables, `< 1` -> `== 0`
* More closely mimic RBAC filter from xorm to ensure correct logic
* Move off weaveworks client
* Address PR comments
* Alerting: Add metrics to the remote Alertmanager struct
* rephrase http_requests_failed description
* make linter happy
* remove unnecessary metrics
* extract timed client to separate package
* use histogram collector from dskit
* remove weaveworks dependency
* capture metrics for all requests to the remote Alertmanager (both clients)
* use the timed client in the MimirAuthRoundTripper
* HTTPRequestsDuration -> HTTPRequestDuration, clean up mimir client factory function
* refactor
* less git diff
* gauge for last readiness check in seconds
* initialize LastReadinesCheck to 0, tweak metric names and descriptions
* add counters for sync attempts/errors
* last config sync and last state sync timestamps (gauges)
* change latency metric name
* metric for remote Alertmanager mode
* code review comments
* move label constants to metrics package
* Exclude mapped nodata transitions when nodata mapped to OK
* Fix processEvalResults test
* Don't check NoDataState when filtering transition
* Add comment to explain purpose of separate function

* Add fresh context with timeout and same log properties, re-derive logger
* Unify timeout constants
* Move ctx after shortcut that got added through rebasing
* Unify timeouts
* Port opentracing's SpanFromContext and ContextFromSpan to the grafana tracing package
* Support both opentracing and otel variants
* Better document why we're creating a new ctx
* Add new func to FakeSpan which was added after rebase
* Support grafana-specific traceID key in both tracer implementations
* Remove private labels
* No longer index by instance labels
* Labels are now invariant, only build them once
* Remove bucketing since everything is in a single stream
* Refactor statesToStreams to only return a single unified log stream
* Don't query on labels that no longer exist
* Move selector logic to loki layer, genericize client to work in terms of straight logQL
* Add support for line-level label filters in query
* Combine existing selector tests for better parallelism
* Tests for logQL construction
* Underscore instead of dot for unwrapping labels in logql
