This commit moved all the docs/*.md files to docs/victoriametrics/ folder. This broke direct links to these files
such as https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/docs/vmagent.md .
Add the missing `/victoriametrics/` part here, so the link becomes https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/docs/victoriametrics/vmagent.md .
The move of all the docs/*.md files into docs/victoriametrics/ folder is dubious because of the following reasons:
- It breaks direct links to *.md files like mentioned above. It is impossible to fix such links all over the Internet,
so they will remain broken :(
The best thing we can do is to fix them on the resources we control such as VictoriaMetrics repository.
- It breaks Google indexing of VictoriaMetrics docs. Google index contains old links such as https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent/#features .
Now such links are automatically redirected to https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/vmagent/#features by a javascript on the https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent/ page.
Google doesn't like redirects at javascript, since they are frequently used by black hat SEO purposes. This leads to pessimization of VictoriaMetrics docs
in Google search result :( We cannot update the old links all over the Internet in order to avoid the redirect by javascript :(
The best thing we can do is to add <meta rel="canonical"> header with the new location of the page at the old url,
and hope Google won't remove VictoriaMetrics docs from its search results. @AndrewChubatiuk , please do this.
- It breaks backwards navigation. When you click the https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent/ link on some page and then press `back` button
in the web browser, it won't return back you to the original page because of the intermediate redirect :( The broken navigation cannot be fixed
for old links located all over the Internet.
- It increases chances of breaking old links left on the Internet in the future, which will lead to 404 Not Found pages
and angry users :(
The sad thing is that we hit the same wall with harmful redirects again :( In the beginning the VictoriaMetrics docs links had .html suffix,
and they were case-sensitive. For example, http://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#rate . It has been decided for some unknown reason
that it is a good idea to remove the .html suffix and to make all the links lowercase. So now such links are automatically redirected by javascript
to https://docs.victoriametrics.com/metricsql/#rate and then redirected again by another javasript to https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/metricsql/#rate :(
There are many old links all over the Internet (for example, at Reddit, StackOverflow, some internal Wiki pages, etc.). We cannot fix all of them,
so we need to pray these links won't break in the future.
@hagen1778, @tenmozes, @makasim , please make sure we won't hit the same wall in a third time.
Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/8595
support `Strict-Transport-Security`, `Content-Security-Policy` and `X-Frame-Options`
HTTP headers in all VictoriaMetrics components.
The values for headers can be specified by users via the following flags:
`-http.header.hsts`, `-http.header.csp` and `-http.header.frameOptions`.

- Make more clear the docs at docs/enterprise.md, so readers could figure out faster
on how to obtain enterprise key and how to pass it to VictoriaMetrics Enterprise components.
- Fix examples at docs/enterprise.md, which were referring to non-existing `-license-file` command-line flag.
The `-licenseFile` command-line flag must be used instead.
- Improve the description of `-license*` command-line flags, so users could understand
faster how to use them.
- Improve the warning message, which is emitted when the deprecated -eula command-line flag is passed,
so the user could figure out how to switch faster to -license* command-line flags.
- Disallow running VictoriaMetrics components with both -license and -licenseFile command-line flags.
- Disallow running VictoriaMetrics components when -licensFile points to an empty file.
- Consistently use the phrase "This flag is available only in Enterprise binaries" across
all the enterprise-specific command-line flags.
- Remove unneeded level of indirection for `noLicenseMessage` and `expiredMessage` string contants
in order to improve code readability and maintainability.
- Remove unneded `return` statements after `logger.Fatalf()` calls, since these calls exit the app and never return.
- Make sure that the info log message about successful license verification is emitted
when the license is verified successfully. Previously the error message could be logged
when the license payload is invalid or if it misses some required features.

* lib/httpserver: introduce `-http.maxConcurrentRequests` command-line flag
Introduce `-http.maxConcurrentRequests` command-line flag to protect
VM components from resource exhaustion during unexpected spikes of HTTP requests.
By default, the new flag's value is set to 0 which means no limits are applied.
