Block invalid urls in metrics dashboard links

Kirstie Cook requested to merge 219074-safe-link-validation into master

What does this MR do?

We currently validate the urls on the frontend with isSafeUrl (see discussion) but this adds an extra validation step on the backend when processing the dashboards to send to the frontend as an extra layer of security.

See #219074 (closed)
