Resolve "Use Gitlab::HTTP in PrometheusClient instead of RestClient"

What does this MR do?

Change use of RestClient to Gitlab::HTTP in Prometheus Client

To standardize on one HTTP client, change RestClient to Gitlab::HTTP for PrometheusClient

  • Change PrometheusClient#new to accept a URL and options instead of a RestClient::Resource object
  • Adapt PrometheusAdapter, PrometheusService to the new initializer
  • Rescue Gitlab::HTTP exceptions instead of RestClient exceptions
  • Translate some RestClient options (:ssl_cert_store into :cert_store) sent by Gitlab::Kubernetes::KubeClient (aka kubeclient gem) into Gitlab::HTTP compatible options.

Risks:

  • Destabilization of the Prometheus interface (pulling stats from Prometheus)

Mitigations:

  • Additional test coverage to address previously untested code paths.
