This is a non functional change which consolidates the various packages
under metrics into the top level package now that the dead code is
removed.
It is a precursor to the removal of Victoria metrics after which all
erigon metrics code will be contained in this single package.
This is an update of:
https://github.com/ledgerwatch/erigon/pull/7846
which uses a local fork of victoria metrics to include the changes that
https://github.com/anshalshukla added to the original for we where
using.
It also includes code to address the duplicate metrics issue identified
here:
https://github.com/ledgerwatch/erigon/issues/8053
It has one more associated fix which is to correctly add a metadata
label to counters, these where previously labelled as gauges.
e.g.
```
# TYPE p2p_peers counter
p2p_peers 0
```
rather than
```
# TYPE p2p_peers gauge
p2p_peers 0
```

Basically, pruning is specified by the user, by default, 1 million (in
the PR set to 100 for pruning purposes). the pruning for the database is
stored inside the db
I'm not sure what caused this failure (for instance, CI for PR #7888 was
green), but currently we have the following test failure in `devel`:
```
--- FAIL: TestGnosisForkDigest (0.00s)
fork_test.go:79:

Miracoulously, hive tests pass first try. YIPPIE.
Also for the future, I added `--experimental.modular` which enables a
secondary engine API for consensus separation.
Now block building is responsibility of the execution module.
we need to extract this interface from the struct.
i need to also break down the interface more, to better show what parts
the caching is used, move some functions from the cache state to the
underlying.
don't merge
