feat(monitoring): Intel iGPU dashboard

Grafana dashboard for the gpumon_* series from intel-gpu-exporter:
current Render/3D busy, GPU power and GT frequency per node as stat
tiles, then one time series per engine (Render/3D, Video, VideoEnhance,
Blitter) with node as the series, GT frequency, GPU and package power,
and memory-controller read/write bandwidth.

Node colours are fixed per node across every panel — blue, orange, aqua
for k8s-1/2/3 — rather than assigned by series order, so a node keeps
its colour whatever the $node filter shows. The trio validates for
colour-vision deficiency and normal vision on both Grafana themes
(worst all-pairs ΔE 9.4 / 20.9). Reads and writes share one axis and
differ by dash, not hue. One axis per panel throughout.

gpumon_clients_count is deliberately absent: per-client attribution
needs hostPID, which the exporter does not have, so it would read 0
forever and imply an idle GPU.
