`github.com/golang/protobuf/proto` is deprecated in lieu of
`google.golang.org/protobuf/proto`. However, we cannot simply
migrate. Types from the proto package are exposed to users of packages
in this repo. If we migrate here, users have to migrate to. Thus, we
could only migrate with a major version bump.
In different news, with all the inline lint:ignore comments, including
the existing ones, there is no need to repeat the exception in the
Makefile.
A current version of `staticcheck` is happy with the code after this
commit. golangci-lint is broken at the moment, however, and ignores
the lint:ignore comments in the code as well as those via envvar.

Now that we have also added CollectAndLint and GatherAndLint, I
thought we should bring CollectAndCount in line. So:
- Add GatherAndCount.
- Add filtering by metric name.
- Add tests.
Minor wart: CollectAndCount should now return `(int, error)`, but that
would be a breaking change as the current version just returns
`int`. I decided to let the new version panic when it should return an
error. An error is anyway very unlikely, so the biggest annoyance here
is really just the inconsistency.

An empty job name was always an error, but it was previously only
detected when pushing to the PGW and receiving an error. With this
commit, the error is detected before pushing.
An empty label value should have been OK but was encoded in a way that
couldn't be pushed to the
PGW. Cf. https://github.com/prometheus/pushgateway/issues/344 . This
commit changes the creation of the path in the URL so that it works

Essentially, just don't try to set a status code and send any error
message in the body once metrics gathering has succeeded. At that
point, the most likely reason for errors is anyway that the client has
disconnected, in which sending an error is moot. The other possible
reason for an error is a problem during metrics encoding. This is
unlikely to happen (it's a coding error here in client_golang in any
case), and if it is happening, the odds are we have already sent
something to the ResponseWriter, which means we cannot set a status
code anymore. The doc comment for HTTPErrorOnError now describes these
circumstances explicitly and recommends to set a logger to report that
kind of error.
This should fix the reason for the infamous `superfluous
response.WriteHeader call` message.

This is, sadly, the only way to avoid a breaking change. The cost is
that anyone using exemplars has to perform a type assertion. This is,
however, a common pattern where interfaces turn out to need additional
methods in a stable library or only some implementations can provide
the additional methods (AKA "interface upgrade").
Needless to say that in v2 of this library, we'll do things in a more
straight forward way.

This is a much stronger hash function than fnv64a and comparably fast
(with super-fast assembly implementation for amd64).
Performance is not critical here anyway.
The old fnv64a is kept for vectors, where collision detection is in
place and the weakness of the hashing doesn't matter that much. I
implemented a vector version with xxhash and found that xxhash is
slower in all cases except very very high cardinality (where it is
only slightly faster). Also, ``xxhash.New`` comes with an allocation
of 80 bytes. Thus, to keep vectors alloc-free, we needed to add a
`sync.Pool`, which would have an additional performance overhead.

This is really lame as it essentially just uses longer times to
wait. The test is still timing-dependent and thus could still
theoretically fail with unlucky scheduling. However, we are testing
something that _is_ about timing. Turning this all into something not
timing-dependent would be first quite involved and second might defeat
the purpose of testing code that is inherently about timing.
Let's see how this works out in practice.

The previous `float64(math.MaxUint64 + 1)` is too close to
`float64(math.MaxUint64)` to actually overflow as indended.
The counter code is actually converting forward and backward and
compare the original and twice-converted value. On most platform, this
will create a deviation and thus trigger the expected behavior. By
sheer "luck", one might end up with the same value and thus still use
the uint64 representation. Which is OK within the precision we can
expect. But it breaks the test. With this change, the next
representable floating point value greater than the floating point
value used to represent math.MaxUint64 is used.

This unifies both constructors in one with an options argument.
The options argument allows to switch on error reporting, as discussed

The change of the contructor signature is breaking, but only mildly
so. Plus, the process collector is rarely used explicitly. I used
Sourcegraph to search for public usages, with the following results:
- 2 occurrences of NewProcessCollectorPIDFn, once in @discordianfish's
glimpse, once in @fabxc's etcd_exporter (deprecated anyway). Both
are Prom veterans and will simply do the one line change if needed.
- 8 occurrences of NewProcessCollector, of which 7 are of the form
NewProcessCollector(os.Getpid(), "")
Thus, it's a very easy change, which I even hinted at in the doc
comment.

The only known external usage of it was in prometheus/pushgateway,
where it was removed by
https://github.com/prometheus/pushgateway/pull/200 .
Originally, the expectation was that users would implement the Metric
interface now and then. As we know now, neither it is happening, nor
would it make a lot of sense. (Users implement the Collector interface
instead.) By now, LabelPairSorter is essentially noise in the already

Also, clarify in the doc comment.
Previously, the assumption was that inconsistent label dimensions are
violating the exposition format spec. However, especially with the
knowledge that OpenMetrics will explicitly allow inconsistent label
dimensions in expositions, we should allow it in client_golang, too.
Note that registration with proper Descs provided will still check for
consistont label dimensions. However, you can "cheat" with custom
Collectors as you can collect metrics that don't follew the provided
Desc (this will be made more explicit and less cheaty once #47 is
fixed). You can also create expositions with inconsistent label
dimensions by merging Gatherers with the Gatherers slice type. (The
latter is used in the Pushgateway.)
Effectively, normal direct instrumentation will always have consistent
label dimensions in this way, but you can cover special use cases with
custom collectors or merging of different Gatherers.

Finally, I found an easy solution to provide the "evil"
auto-registration without getting death threats from the wardens of Go
purity. The reasoning can be found in the package's doc comment.
In principle, we needed to iterate through all permutations, mirroring
the same that is happening in the code. For lack of time, I only
picked one of the cases currently buggy.
As said, this really needs code generation, should we ever find
ourselves touching this again.
Previously, the pickDelegator function was not returning a
*hijackerDelegator so the return value did not implement the Hijacker
interface. As a result, code that attempts to hijack the connection
would fail when using a type assertion.
All the other cases returned the hijackerDelegator correctly.
Original discussion see
https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang/pull/362 .
Assuming that the most frequently used method of a `Gauge` is `Set`
and the most frequently used method of a `Conuter` is `Inc`, this
separates the implementation of both metric types. `Inc` and integral
`Add` of a counter is now handled in a separate `uint64`. This would
create a race in `Set`, but luckily, there is no `Set` anymore in a
counter.
All attempts to solve above race (to use the same idea for a `Gauge`)
slow down `Set`, So we just stick with the old implementation
(formerly `value`) for `Gauge`.
The idea behind it is described in detail in
https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang/issues/320 .
This commit also updates the example given in
promhttp/instrument_server_test.go , which nicely illustrates the
benefit of this change.
So far, currying could be emulated by creating different metric vec's
with different values in their ConstLabels. This was quite difficult
to grasp - which is essentially what was done in the example mentioned
above. Now that this use case can be solved without ConstLabels, we
can safely declare ConstLabels as rarely used. (Perhaps we can
deprecate them entirely one day, but I'll take a raincheck on that
when the changes of v0.10 have materialized.) This commit thus also
updates the ConstLabel doc comments in the various Opts. (It contained
fairly outdated stuff anyway.)
The "panic in case of error" code was so far in metricVec. This pulls
it up into the exported types like CounterVec. This is code
replication, but it avoids an explicit type conversion. Mostly,
however, this is preparation to make the wrapped metricVec an
interface (required for curried vec's).
Specifically @beorn7 pointed out that the previous implementation had
some shortcomings around large numbers. I've changed the code to match
the suggestion in review, as well as added a few test cases.
