Thomas Draebing 1d6a3dcc5e Remove custom labels added to logs during parsing
Promtail was configured to create labels for nearly every key in the
logs. This was done to support easier label-based querying. Loki
however is not optimized to  work with labels having a high cardinality.
This led to failures in Loki, if it had to handle a high number of
logs. In addition, the high number of labels led to a huge number of
chunks being created, mostly just containing a single log entry,
making querying and storage very inefficient.

This change removes all custom made labels, except for the
gerrit_version label. Logs should rather be queried using the grep-
like syntax of LogQL for which Loki is optimized.
