Usage Ping: Query recorded Prometheus metrics

Matthias Käppler requested to merge 217698-usage-ping-recorded-metrics into master

What does this MR do?

Depends on: omnibus-gitlab!4343 (merged) Replaces: !34936 (closed)

We recently introduced Usage Ping functionality that pulls data from the bundled Omnibus Prometheus (assuming it is running.) This is now documented here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/telemetry/usage_ping.html#prometheus-queries

In the initial iteration that shipped with 13.1, these queries were sent to Prometheus ad-hoc, i.e. queries that contained potentially long-term aggregations were evaluated at query time. They were also fairly complex at times.

In this MR we implement the client-side counterpart for omnibus-gitlab!4343 (merged), i.e. we are now sending much simpler PromQL queries that will fetch weekly averages of the recorded metrics. This makes for a faster and more stable contract between client and server.

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?
