test(grafana): verify dashboard panels display non-zero data

Add verify_dashboard_panels_data() that:
- Executes actual dashboard panel queries through Grafana API
- Validates data is returned (not empty)
- Checks values meet minimum thresholds (e.g., DB size > 1MB)
- Verifies transaction commits, tuples returned/inserted are non-zero

This ensures dashboards would actually visualize real data,
not just that metrics exist in Prometheus.
