Move System Metrics chart group to the top of the Default dashboard in Metrics
Problem to solve
By default, before other charts haven't been configured yet, the default metrics dashboard displays only the system metrics. Since system metrics are all the way at the bottom of the default dashboard, the whole screen is filled with chart group empty states, and the system metrics aren't very visible all the way at the bottom of the screen.
System metrics at the bottom by default |

Proposed Solution
I suggest to show the System Metrics at the top of the default dashboard. The user can always change it later, but it'll provide a better user experience from the start. When the user connects Prometheus, they may want to go to their metrics dashboard to see if it's working. Being able to see the populated charts right away at the top will provide immediate feedback to the user that everything is working correctly.
common_metrics.yml
can simply have the System Metrics at the top by default.
