For float and histogram samples (and tombstones) we check the timestamp of the record against the minValidTime of the head before attempting any other processing, skipping the record entirely if minValidTime is greater. For exemplars, we don't do this check until after we try to match the exemplar record to a series (possibly logging unknown series references for exemplars that we're going to skip processing anyway).
This PR moves the timestamp check to be the first thing done when processing exemplar records, matching the other record types.
