[Report Pages] Column Chart Supports Multiple Series
Problem
An analytics chart should tell a story that helps users understand a particular issue. In order to do this effectively charts sometimes need to render multiple series, each from a different data source.

Without this, we have to render several charts to tell a story and users have to jump between them to make sense of an issue. This also means that we can't achieve the level of information density required for a concise dashboard that provides situational awareness or a balanced scorecard across several charts.
Proposal
- Allow the report pages YAML to define multiple series for a chart, each with its own query.
- As a test case, update the definition for Group Activity Recent Issues chart to include bars for closed issues as shown in the visual below.
- Ideally each series will render independently so that we do not need to wait for all series queries to return data before rendering the chart. If this is too big a problem to solve on our first pass, we will break progressive loading into its own issue and come back to it.
