This commit adds support for configuring a custom start timestamp
for Prometheus unit tests, allowing tests to use realistic timestamps
instead of starting at Unix epoch 0.

The return value of functions relating to the current time, e.g. time(),
is set by promtool to start at timestamp 0 at the start of a test's
evaluation.
This has the very nice consequence that tests can run reliably without
depending on when they are run.
It does, however, mean that tests will give out results that can be
unexpected by users.
If this behaviour is documented, then users will be empowered to write
tests for their rules that use time-dependent functions.

promql: Extend testing framework to support native histograms
This includes both the internal testing framework as well as the rules unit test feature of promtool.
This also adds a bunch of basic tests. Many of the code level tests can now be converted to tests within the framework, and more tests can be added easily.
