* Wiped out a ton of warnings about comments.
* Created consts for `MetricType` values.
* `externalInfoMap` can now track multiple series with the same name/namespace and different labels.
* `namespace` parameter of external metrics queries is now respected (albeit very rudimentarily)
* Metric converter values for external metrics are now converted the same way as for custom metrics (probably still some opportunity for consolidation).
* Lots of TODOs actually done.
* Deleted a lot of commented out code.
Fixed:
* `basicMetricLister` wasn't applying the appropriate start time because I had forgotten to set the `lookback`.
There are still a number of issues:
* The `externalPrometheusProvider` is not hooked up to the web application yet, so it doesn't serve requests.
* The namespace and label approach used in `external_info_map.go` is horrifically incorrect. It doesn't appropriately store multiple series with the same name but different labels.
* The configuration is still not updated to appropriately handle external metrics, it's sort of half-piggy-backing on the pre-existing work.
* Some bug fixes found during testing/test repair.
* Trying to tease apart the various responsibilities of `metricNamer` into smaller chunks and adding tests for each individual chunk.
* Updating the `provider_test` and `series_registry_test` to fix failures.
* Breaking out some types to make the functionality more composable and easier to digest. (e.g. `basicMetricLister` interacts with Prometheus and `periodicMetricLister` periodically invokes `basicMetricLister`.
* Pulling out some of the type embedding between `basicSeriesRegistry` and `MetricLister` to make it easier to digest.
* Deleting the `/metric-converter` code because I'm pretty certain it's not going to be necessary as things transition to using the namer-based configuration.
* Some light-ish refactoring in `metricNamer` to get some re-use out of query generation in preparation for using it with external metrics.
This commit introduces advanced configuration. The rate-interval and
label-prefix flags are removed, and replaced by a configuration file
that allows you to specify series queries and the rules for transforming
those into metrics queries and API resources.
