app/vmselect: fail the query request directly when there is not enough disk space

Previously, vmselect may crash if there is not enough free disk space to store tmp files from vmstorage. vmselect stores data blocks received from vmstorage if response size exceeds in-memory limit.
 It reduced vmselect availability, because it makes impossible to serve small queries. And huge query may crash vmselect for all users.

 So this commit adds a error check instead. If there is not enough disk space, vmselect will stop query execution and return error back to user.

It is set to `1` when the previous process run didn't shut down cleanly. Added the `UncleanShutdown` [alerting rule](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/deployment/docker/rules/alerts-health.yml), which fires for 10 minutes after an unclean shutdown is detected. See [#8443](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/8443).
 * FEATURE: [vmui](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/single-server-victoriametrics/#vmui): show the selected time zone UTC offset next to the date/time controls and allow opening time zone settings from it. See [#11332](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/11332).

For example, `-maxConcurrentInserts` now prints `(default 16 = 2*cgroup.AvailableCPUs())` in `-help` output instead of `(default 16)`. Updated flags: `-search.maxConcurrentRequests`, `-search.maxWorkersPerQuery`, `-fs.maxConcurrency`, `-remoteWrite.concurrency`, `-remoteWrite.queues`. See [#9680](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/9680). Thanks to @Vandit1604 for contribution.

 * BUGFIX: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/vmagent/) and `vminsert` in [VictoriaMetrics cluster](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/cluster-victoriametrics/): fix infinite loop in the OpenTelemetry Firehose ingestion endpoint (`/opentelemetry/api/v1/push`) when receiving a malformed record with an incomplete varint in the `data` field. Previously this caused the goroutine to spin forever, permanently consuming CPU until the process was restarted.
 * BUGFIX: [vmalert-tool](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/vmalert-tool/): reuse connections to `-remoteWrite.url` when writing the results of recording rules and alerts. Previously every series was sent over a new connection, which left a lot of sockets in `TIME_WAIT` state and could exhaust the ephemeral port range. The number of idle connections can be tuned via the new `-remoteWrite.maxIdleConnections` command-line flag. Thanks @evkuzin for contribution.
