Create LinkToDashboard component

What does this MR do and why?

Create LinkToDashboard reusable component

• Components are mostly inspired by the GlobalSearch modal ( some copied and simplified, some created from scratch )
• The picker initially shows frequently visited project and groups, and additionally allows to search by name
• All API calls (search and frecent groups/projects ) goes through GraphQL ( different from the global search modal that uses the search/autocomplete REST API
• For each project/group fetched, we additionally load the available customizableDashboards from the GraphQL API. The same API is used in the dashboards UI, making sure that we use the same SOT for both the projects/groups picker and the actual dashboards page
• Search results are then filtered to only show the ones where the selected dashboards is available . While frontend filtering is not optimal, it works fine in this case where only few results are needed, and also allows us to move quickly without having to created a new dedicated API ( or make large changes to existing ones )
• This can be reused for other links-to-dashboards scenario and also later on ( with some minimal changes ) for the new Dashboards landing page that we are planning to implement (UX)

This was originally a single MR, which I ended up splitting in two. The second part where the component is used is Add link to AI impact dashboard in AI catalog h... (!213391)

Screenshots or screen recordings

Note: screenshots and demo include changes from Add link to AI impact dashboard in AI catalog h... (!213391) (where the component gets added to the AI Catalog header)

(demo shows the link to VSD as I don't have the Duo dashboard setup locally )

How to set up and validate locally

Note: since this MR only adds the component, to verify locally you also need changes from !213391 where the component gets added to the AI Catalog header

To have the AI Impact dashboard enabled, it's required to have Clickhouse and Duo setup locally.

To quickly test this without the full setup, apply this patch ( the link will instead point to the Value Stream dashboard, which is enabled by default )
