vmalert-tool: do not use 1970-01-01 in unit tests

1970-01-01 is a special date that forces vmstorage to use global index for searching. The unit test will start failing once the global index is disabled by default. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/11196. Instead, use some other date, such as 2000-01-01. Signed-off-by: Artem Fetishev <rtm@victoriametrics.com>

 * BUGFIX: `vmstorage` in [VictoriaMetrics cluster](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/cluster-victoriametrics/): properly apply `extra_filters[]` filter when querying `vm_account_id` or `vm_project_id` labels via [multitenant](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/cluster-victoriametrics/#multitenancy) request for `/api/v1/label/…/values` API. Before, `extra_filters` was ignored. See [#10503](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/10503).
 * BUGFIX: [vmsingle](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/single-server-victoriametrics/) and `vmselect` in [VictoriaMetrics cluster](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/cluster-victoriametrics/): revert the use of rollup result cache for [instant queries](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#instant-query) that contain [`rate`](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html#rate) function with a lookbehind window larger than `-search.minWindowForInstantRollupOptimization`. The cache usage was removed since [v1.132.0](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases/tag/v1.132.0). See [#10098](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/10098#issuecomment-3895011084) for more details.

-**v1.136.x is a line of [LTS releases](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/lts-releases/). It contains important up-to-date bugfixes for [VictoriaMetrics enterprise](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/enterprise/).
-All these fixes are also included in [the latest community release](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases/latest).
-The v1.136.x line will be supported for at least 12 months since [v1.136.0](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/changelog/#v11360) release**
-
-* SECURITY: upgrade base docker image (Alpine) from 3.23.4 to 3.24.1. See [Alpine 3.24.1 release notes](https://www.alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.24.1-released.html).
-
-* BUGFIX: `vminsert` in [VictoriaMetrics cluster](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/cluster-victoriametrics/) and [vmsingle](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/single-server-victoriametrics/): properly check values range for the limits configured with flags `-maxLabelsPerTimeseries`, `-maxLabelNameLen` and `-maxLabelValueLen`. It must be in range `1..65535`. See [#11128](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/11128).
-* BUGFIX: `vminsert` in [VictoriaMetrics cluster](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/cluster-victoriametrics/): fixes unexpected rare rerouting. See [#11162](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/11162).
-* BUGFIX: `vmselect` in [VictoriaMetrics cluster](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/cluster-victoriametrics/): propagate cache reset operation to `selectNode` when `/internal/resetRollupResultCache` is called. Previously, the propagation only happened when the `delete_series` API was called. See [#11112](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/11112).
-* BUGFIX: [stream aggregation](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/stream-aggregation/): fix possible unexpected increases in `rate_avg` and `rate_sum` if an out-of-order sample is ingested after the previous flush. See [#11140](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/11140).
-* BUGFIX: [vmctl](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/vmctl/): properly URL-encode `-vm-extra-label` values when building import requests, so special characters such as `&` don't get split into broken query parameters. See [#11144](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/11144). Thanks to @immanuwell for contribution.
-* BUGFIX: [enterprise](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/enterprise/) [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent/): ignore `enable.auto.offset.store` option in `kafka.consumer.topic.options`, since `vmagent` manages offset storage internally. Previously, setting this option could cause `vmagent` to stop committing Kafka messages. See [#11208](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/11208).
-* BUGFIX: all VictoriaMetrics components: cancel in-flight HTTP requests shortly before `-http.maxGracefulShutdownDuration` elapses during graceful shutdown, so they can drain and the shutdown completes cleanly within that window instead of timing out and exiting via `logger.Fatalf` -> `os.Exit`. This prevents skipping the storage flush and losing in-memory data when long-lived requests are in flight (such as VictoriaLogs live tailing). See [#1502](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaLogs/issues/1502).
