Hui WangandGitHub a91f952b42 vmalert: print the error message as value if templating fails in alerting rule
For users, if an alerting rule has a misconfigured annotation, it's more
important to deliver the alert when the rule triggers rather than skip
it with templating error logs.
Then users can see the faulty annotation in alert message and fix it.

Note: the previous behavior is retained in replay mode because errors
there should be noticed immediately; hiding them could waste time,
resources and require a re-replay after fixes.
Also the rule's status in the vmalert UI remains unhealthy if templating
failed.
