Thanos Query gives us some really nice detailed internal stats - but thanos-query-frontend annoyingly blats them by trying to parse the response as a Prometheus response, which has different fields and a different structure.

In addition, thanos-query-frontend doesn't even pass the &stats=all parameter through if you try to request it.

This change fixes this by propagating the stats request parameter to the downstream, and decoding/encoding the Thanos Query stats structure properly.

As an extra, we also set a response header if we get a cache hit so that upstreams can use this.

I've removed this now that we return query stats directly in the response

This is the difference between Thanos stats and Prometheus stats responses

Should this be *existing = *newHeader ?

Also, below we sort the responses by response time and then the first non-null explanation is taken rather than the last one. Is consistency between these important?

func (resp *PrometheusInstantQueryResponse) AddHeader(key, value string) {
resp.Headers = append(resp.Headers, &PrometheusResponseHeader{Name: key, Values: []string{value}})
}

I think we'll end up with duplicate headers if the same header key is added twice - should this check for the header already existing and either replace it or append to its values?

I doubt this matters given what was happening before, but this could be out of sync with the actual headers we return in the response due to the merging below.

Are the headers always upper case?
