rule: Added ability to specify multiple remote write targets.

This is mainly for non surprising remote write YAML format, but also for ability
to add more targets, similar to agent supported model.

 The WAL only storage reuses the upstream [Prometheus agent](https://prometheus.io/blog/2021/11/16/agent/) and it is compatible with the old TSDB data. For more design purpose of this mode, please refer to the [proposal](https://thanos.io/tip/proposals-done/202005-scalable-rule-storage.md/).

+You can pass this in file using `--remote-write.config-file=` or inline it using `--remote-write.config=`.
 
 **NOTE:**
 1. `metadata_config` is not supported in this mode and will be ignored if provided in the remote write configuration.
