Setting `IPAddressAllow` and `IPAddressDeny` instructs systemd to
construct BPF firewall rules to restrict traffic. Since `vmagent` is
responsible for scraping metrics from hosts on the network, it does not
make any sense to restrict it to localhost-only communication.
None of the Victoria Metrics services should run as a dynamic user.
Indeed, enabling the setting appears to have no effect when `User` is
defined and refers to a user that already exists. To reduce confusion,
we should omit these directives from the unit files.

When I originally added the *victoriametrics* user to the `users` file,
I did not realize that it was possible for a package to define a user.
It makes much more sense to define it there.
There's no reason for these to be separate packages. They come from the
same source tree, so having a single package makes more sense. I only
separated them originally because I wasn't sure exactly how to express
the proper options in the kconfig language.
I think it makes the most sense to install the systemd unit files for
services along with their binaries. This is how most software provided
by Linux distribution package manager works. Providing the systemd unit
with the package eliminates the need for variability, since the paths to
the executable and other files are well defined.

Victoria Metrics is not available by default with Buildroot, but adding
a package description for it is very straightforward. The flags and
tags are specified within Victoria Metrics's own Makefile.
