grafana: update docs and make an import script

Update the docs to reflect not having grafyaml in the container.

Also move the import into a separate helper script, which can be
manually run on the host if the container needs to be restarted
out-of-band for some reason.

Apache is configured as a reverse proxy to Grafana running in a
container, listening on port 3000.
Updating dashboards
===================
Changes to config-files in ``project-config`` will trigger the
``infra-prod-run-grafana`` job to refresh the dashboards. If the
container is restarted manually, you can run
``/usr/local/bin/update-grafana-dashboards`` on
``grafana.opendev.org`` to reload directly.
Local Development
