Using tabs to align things has the downside that people who have set the
tabstop to be of a different lenght than the orignial author's run the
risk of not having the alignment stay. In the current Makefile before
this change people with tabstop of 4 do not see the equals line up.
The new vendoring was produced by running:
godep save -r ./examples/... ./prometheus/... ./text/... ./model/... ./extraction/...
Two things to note:
- "extraction/processor0_0_{1,2}_test.go" imported a package from
"github.com/prometheus/prometheus", all for just one tiny testing
function. To not have to deal with a circular vendoring dependency, I
simply replaced the usage of the function by some in-line logic.
- godep grouped the rewritten imports slightly differently for some
reason, but at least the standard library imports are still in a
separate section. Not sure if it's worth manually keeping our old
import grouping scheme or if we should simply use that godep-generated
one.
This rewrite had may backs and forths. In my git repository, it
consists of 35 commits which I cannot group or merge into reasonable
review buckets. Gerrit breaks fundamental git semantics, so I have to
squash the 35 commits into one for the review.
I'll push this not with refs/for/master, but with refs/for/next so
that we can transition after submission in a controlled fashion.
For the review, I recommend to start with looking at godoc and in
particular the many examples. After that, continue with a line-by-line
detailed review. (The big picture is hopefully as expected after
wrapping up the discussion earlier.)

These are all simple changes we should have caught a long time ago:
1. The hashing mechanism for fingerprint label sets should have not
allocated new objects for the actual hashing---at least not
egregiously. This simplifies the hash writing by just byte-
dumping the string stream into the hasher.
2. The hashing mechanism within the scope of a metric does not care
about the value of the label keys themselves but only of the label
values. The keys can be dropped from the calculation.
3. The locking mechanism for the metrics should not block on hash
computation but rather solely on the actual mutation or critical
section reads.
4. For scalar metrics (i.e., ones with niladic label signatures), we
should rely on a preallocated map versus requesting a new one
ad hoc.
This is tested with Go 1.1, so the results may yield other values
for us elsewhere:

In effect, a single metric mutation operation's lookup overhead will
move from Before::iBenchmarkLabelToSignature to
After::BenchmarkLabelValuesToSignature. This MINIMALLY reduces
1/2 the overhead. I would be hesitant in reading the memory
allocation statistics, for this was run with the GC still on and
thusly inaccurate per Go benchmarking documentation.
Before::BenchmarkLabelValuesToSignature never existed, so it is not
of any intrinsic value in itself. That said, the cases that still
rely on LabelToSignature experience consistently a 1/2 drop in time.
