The Top-line and Deployment Grafana dashboards relied on the
soon-to-be-removed telemetry pipeline metrics.
Update the Grafana dashboards to query for the new, proxy-based metrics.
Grafana dashboard layouts have not changed.
Depends on #635 to render metrics.
Part of #420.

Previously we were using the instance label to uniquely identify a pod.
This meant that getting stats by pod name would require extra queries to
Kubernetes to map pod name to instance.
This change adds a pod_name label to metrics at collection time. This
should not affect cardinality as pod_name is invariant with respect to
instance.

The Prometheus scrape config collects from Conduit proxies, and maps
Kubernetes labels to Prometheus labels, appending "k8s_".
This change keeps the resultant Prometheus labels consistent with their
source Kubernetes labels. For example: "deployment" and
"pod_template_hash".

The inject code detects the object it is being injected into, and writes
self-identifying information into the CONDUIT_PROMETHEUS_LABELS
environment variable, so that conduit-proxy may read this information
and report it to Prometheus at collection time.
This change puts the self-identifying information directly into
Kubernetes labels, which Prometheus already collects, removing the need
for conduit-proxy to be aware of this information. The resulting label
in Prometheus is recorded in the form `k8s_deployment`.

In addition to dashboards display service health, we need a dashboard to
display health of the Conduit service mesh itself.
This change introduces a conduit-health dashboard. It currently only
displays health metrics for the control plane components. Proxy health
will come later.

The existing telemetry pipeline relies on Prometheus scraping the
Telemetry service, which will soon be removed.
This change configures Prometheus to scrape the conduit proxies directly
for telemetry data, and the control plane components for control-plane
health information. This affects the output of both conduit install
and conduit inject.

The existing `conduit dashboard` command supported opening the conduit
dashboard, or displaying the conduit dashboard URL, via a `url` boolean
flag.
Replace the `url` boolean flag with a `show` string flag, with three
modes:
`conduit dashboard --show conduit`: default, open conduit dashboard
`conduit dashboard --show grafana`: open grafana dashboard
`conduit dashboard --show url`: display dashboard URLs

Existing Grafana configuration contained no dashboards, just a skeleton
for testing.
Introduce two Grafana dashboards:
1) Top Line: Overall health of all Conduit-enabled services
2) Deployment: Health of a specific conduit-enabled deployment

Kubernetes will do multiple DNS lookups for a name like
`proxy-api.conduit.svc.cluster.local` based on the default search settings
in /etc/resolv.conf for each container:
1. proxy-api.conduit.svc.cluster.local.conduit.svc.cluster.local. IN A
2. proxy-api.conduit.svc.cluster.local.svc.cluster.local. IN A
3. proxy-api.conduit.svc.cluster.local.cluster.local. IN A
4. proxy-api.conduit.svc.cluster.local. IN A
We do not need or want this search to be done, so avoid it by making each
name absolute by appending a period so that the first three DNS queries
are skipped for each name.
The case for `localhost` is even worse because we expect that `localhost` will
always resolve to 127.0.0.1 and/or ::1, but this is not guaranteed if the default
search is done:
1. localhost.conduit.svc.cluster.local. IN A
2. localhost.svc.cluster.local. IN A
3. localhost.cluster.local. IN A
4. localhost. IN A
Avoid these unnecessary DNS queries by making each name absolute, so that the
first three DNS queries are skipped for each name.

Grafana by default calls out to grafana.com to check for updates. As
user's of Conduit do not have direct control over updating Grafana
directly, this update check is not needed.
Disable Grafana's update check via grafana.ini.
This is also a workaround for #155, root cause of #519.

When the conduit proxy is injected into the controller pod, we observe controller pod proxy stats show up as an "outbound" deployment for an unrelated upstream deployment. This may cause confusion when monitoring deployments in the service mesh.
This PR filters out this "misleading" stat in the public api whenever the dashboard requests metric information for a specific deployment.
* exclude telemetry generated by the control plane when requesting deployment metrics

In the initial review for this code (preceding the creation of the
runconduit/conduit repository), it was noted that this container is not
actually used, so this is actually dead code.
Further, this container actualy causes a minor problem, as it doesn't
implement any retry logic, thus it will sometimes often cause errors to
be logged. See
https://github.com/runconduit/conduit/issues/496#issuecomment-370105328.
Further, this is a "buoyantio/" branded container. IF we actually need
such a container then it should be a Conduit-branded container.
See https://github.com/runconduit/conduit/issues/478 for additional
context.

`conduit install` deploys prometheus, but lacks a general-purpose way to
visualize that data.
This change adds a Grafana container to the `conduit install` command. It
includes two sample dashboards, viz and health, in their own respective
source files.

The telemetry service in the controller pod uses a non-fully qualified URL to connect to the prometheus pod in the control plane. This PR changes the URL the telemetry's prometheus URL to be fully qualified to be consistent with other URLs in the control plane. This change was tested in minikube. The logs report no errors and looking at the prometheus dashboard shows that stats are being recorded from all conduit proxies.

The `app` label should be reserved for end-user applications and we
shouldn't use it ourselves. We already have a Conduit-specific label
that is is prefixed with the `conduit.io/` prefix to avoid naming
collisions with users' labels, so just use that one instead.

This change moves the template into its own file, in anticipation of
