New Prometheus UI

New Prometheus UI reduces clutter and standardizes menus while staying react-based; Bootstrap is swapped for mtin and charts move from flot to plot, which removes some old features (histogram heatmap missing) but enables richer components. It adds a PromLens-style treeview that pinpoints PromQL evaluation errors, shows label sample values, and suggests fixes like adding group_left, plus a metric explorer that browses label values and inserts selectors at the cursor. UI is functional but marked beta after roughly six months of active branch development.
