Breaking files of the main package makes it difficult to test using `go run`

Proposal

Use case. Why is this important?
Run and debug Prometheus locally.
It is important so that we can debug quickly :)

I wish we could organise the files so that the cmd/prometheus/ contains only main.go and main_test.go so that I can run and debug only using go run main.go.

currently we have so many files in there so that it is no easy to follow which files need to be passed to the go run command.

I guess that mean putting all the other files in their dedicated packages which seems the idiomatic go way anyway.

is go run *.go such a big deal?

[krasi-georgiev]

I wish it was that easy :)
this picks up the main_test.go and fails. I tried many different combinations and nothing worked.

opening a PR in a sec as this was very easy to fix by moving these in a dedicated package.
