The histogram stats decoder keeps track of the last seen histogram sample
in order to properly detect counter resets. We are seeing an issue where
a histogram with UnknownResetHint gets treated as a counter reset when it follows
a stale histogram sample.
I believe that this is incorrect since stale samples should be completely ignored
in PromQL. As a result, they should not be stored in the histogram stats iterator
and the counter reset detection needs to be done against the last non-stale sample.
