Roman Khavronenko 2dcfbd8e19 deployment/rules: add MetricNameStatsCacheUtilizationIsTooHigh alert (#10840)
The new rule `MetricNameStatsCacheUtilizationIsTooHigh` will signalize
about overutilization of Metric names usage stats tracker. See
https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victoriametrics/#track-ingested-metrics-usage

This rule can fire for deployments with high churn rate of metric names.
In cases like this, it is better to disable metric name tracking
completely, as it brings no use.

It might fire for deployments that were tracking metric names for very
long periods and this alert might be a good sign to reset the cache.
