Ashwin Ramani 096bb8fdeb app/vmstorage: add -maxBackfillAge command-line flag (#11228) ...

Allows rejecting ingested samples with historical timestamps older than
now-maxBackfillAge, independently of -retentionPeriod. This is useful
for limiting ingestion of historical samples, for example when older
data has been moved between storage tiers (nvme/hdd, hot/cold).

Mirrors the -maxBackfillAge flag already available in VictoriaLogs.
Defaults to 0, in which case it is clamped to -retentionPeriod,
preserving previous ingestion behavior.

Fixes https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/11199
