Description

Inhibits have the potential for accidentally affecting far more alerts than is desired, particularly in environments where more than one team is sharing the alertmanager (and we'll ultimately encourage one set of alertmanagers per company).

Accordingly it'll be safer for inhibitions to be per-route, and likely also easier to work with.
