Depends on #15577 which is now merged so this is ready.

Adds more details to the histogram quantile monotonicity info annotation, e.g. min and max timestamps, upper bounds of the min and max buckets affected, number of samples affected, max diff found: PromQL info: input to histogram_quantile needed to be fixed for monotonicity (see https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/functions/#histogram_quantile) for metric name "series_1", from buckets 2.5 to 100, with a max diff of 10, over 3 samples from 2023-12-25T00:00:00Z to 2024-12-25T00:00:00Z (1:4)

Supersedes #14339

I already sneak-peeked a bit here. But let's first get #15577 merged and this rebased before I do the detailed review here.

In the meantime, could you update the PR description to include a changelog line for the user facing changes? (This is a recently added requirement that also has a CI test, which is now red for this PR.)

It looks like this:

```release-notes
[ENHANCEMENT] promql: Improve annotations bla bla bla.
```

OK, now this needs a rebase, and then I'll review it ASAP.

Looks great. Just cosmetic notes about variable naming (which you are free to disagree with).

Note about the failing test: I'm pretty sure it's unrelated to this PR. I'm trying to re-run it, but it has now failed twice in a row already. :(

##### [\`v3.10.0\`](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/releases/tag/v3.10.0)

Prometheus now offers a distroless Docker image variant alongside the default
busybox image. The distroless variant provides enhanced security with a minimal
base image, uses UID/GID 65532 (nonroot) instead of nobody, and removes the
VOLUME declaration. Both variants are available with `-busybox` and `-distroless`
tag suffixes (e.g., `prom/prometheus:latest-busybox`, `prom/prometheus:latest-distroless`).
The busybox image remains the default with no suffix for backwards compatibility
(e.g., `prom/prometheus:latest` points to the busybox variant).

For users migrating existing **named** volumes from the busybox image to the distroless variant, the ownership can be adjusted with:

```
docker run --rm -v prometheus-data:/prometheus alpine chown -R 65532:65532 /prometheus
```

Then, the container can be started with the old volume with:

```
docker run -v prometheus-data:/prometheus prom/prometheus:latest-distroless
```

User migrating from bind mounts might need to ajust permissions too, depending on their setup.
