Grot (@grafanabot) 9f639403e6 [v9.3.x] Alerting: Prevent uid collision in migration when db is case-insensitive (#60835)
Alerting: Prevent uid collision in migration when db is case-insensitive (#60494)

* Alerting: Prevent short uid collision in legacy migration when db is case-insensitive

Two factors come into play that cause sporadic uid conflicts during legacy alert migration:
- MySQL and MySQL-compatible backends use case-insensitive collation.
- Our short uid generator is not a uniform RNG and generates uids in such a way that generations in quick succession have a higher probability of creating similar uids.

Normally we would be guaranteed unique short uid generation, however if the source alphabet contains
duplicate characters (for example, if we use case-insensitive comparison) this guarantee is void.

Generating even ~1000 uids in quick succession is nearly guaranteed to create a case-insensitive
duplicate.

(cherry picked from commit 570b62091c)
