astro-stan e4ef820b30 feat(grafana): Add dashboard auto-downloader (#41665)
**Description**
<!--
Please include a summary of the change and which issue is fixed. Please
also include relevant motivation and context. List any dependencies that
are required for this change.
-->

Currently, this chart allows provisioning of 3 predefined dashboards.

This is not ideal because:

- It is not flexible (only 3 statically defined in the chart dashboards
are supported)
- It bloats the chart unnecessarily
- Dashboards can get out of date quickly

To fix these shortcomings, I have added a curl init container that
executes a script which is generated during chart rendering based on the
values defined in the new map in the chart values
(`.Values.extraDashboards`). The map allows defining dashboards to be
provisioned both directly from `grafana.com` and via any URL that
returns a valid JSON Grafana dashboard file.

⚒️ Fixes  # <!--(issue)-->

**⚙️ Type of change**

- [x] ⚙️ Feature/App addition
- [ ] 🪛 Bugfix
- [ ] ⚠️ Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing
functionality to not work as expected)
- [ ] 🔃 Refactor of current code
- [ ] 📜 Documentation Changes

**🧪 How Has This Been Tested?**
<!--
Please describe the tests that you ran to verify your changes. Provide
instructions so we can reproduce. Please also list any relevant details
for your test configuration
-->

- Rendered the chart manually with the values defined under
`.Values.extraDashboards`.
- Checked that the dashboards are present in Grafana after it starts

**📃 Notes:**

- The Grafana image technically already has `curl` as a command;
however, I chose to use a separate image just for the init container
because `curl` might be removed without notice from the Grafana image in
the future, and I do not want to depend on it being present.
- I have left the old way of deploying dashboards to prevent making this
a breaking change. After this is merged, I will open a new PR for
removing them (that will be marked breaking), and it can be merged when
appropriate.
