Max KotliarandGitHub 2a534afc80 docs: add slash at the end to avoid redirect (#9705)
### Describe Your Changes

Add a slash at the end of the link to avoid redirects. Remove `.html` in
links.

P.S. While working on this one, I found that anchors to guides are
broken. I'll address them ina separate PR.

Promscale supports Prometheus Remote Read API. To migrate historical data from Promscale to VictoriaMetrics use vmctl in remote-read mode.

See the example of migration command below:

./vmctl remote-read \
  --remote-read-src-addr=http://<promscale>:9201/read \
  --remote-read-step-interval=day \
  --vm-addr=http://<victoriametrics>:8428 \
  --remote-read-filter-time-start=2023-08-21T00:00:00Z \
  --remote-read-disable-path-append=true # promscale has custom remote read API HTTP path
Selected time range "2023-08-21 00:00:00 +0000 UTC" - "2023-08-21 14:11:41.561979 +0000 UTC" will be split into 1 ranges according to "day" step. Continue? [Y/n] y

See how to configure --vm-addr.

Here we specify the full path to Promscale's Remote Read API via --remote-read-src-addr, and disable auto-path appending via --remote-read-disable-path-append cmd-line flags. This is necessary, as Promscale has a different to Prometheus API path. Promscale doesn't support stream mode for Remote Read API, so we disable it via --remote-read-use-stream=false.

Configuration

See remote-read mode for more details.
