feat(grafana): starter dashboards for host/system, Loki logs, and observability self-monitoring

llm-fleet.json already owns LLM capacity+spec-decode. These three cover the
domains that had NO dashboard:
- host-system: node_exporter CPU/Load/Mem/Disk/Net/Uptime/FS/FDs for both
  Dankclaw and Dankserver (templated by job node-dankclaw|node-dankserver)
- logs-overview: Loki volume + per-container error rate + a sample log panel;
  container is parsed from the JSON line at query time (journal streams have
  no container_name stream label)
- observability: the stack's own health - Prometheus target up/down + scrape
  interval drift + samples/s + TSDB, Loki ingest/discard, Grafana CPU/mem.

Panel queries verified live against Prometheus/Loki; provisioned dashboards
confirmed via /api/search. Alertmanager is running but NOT scraped by
Prometheus - noted in the dashboard, no empty panels built on it.
