Add an actions menu to the metrics dashboard header

What does this MR do?

Adds an actions menu to the metrics dashboard header.

For this MVP, the actions menu will contain actions to

  • Create new dashboard
  • Duplicate current dashboard (only when viewing the default dashboard)

The menu button will show a tooltip when hovered.

The "Create new" action

  • Opens up a modal
  • The modal contains a link to the project URL and a link to the documentation related to creating YML dashboards
  • The documentation link opens in a new tab

The "Duplicate dashboard" action

  • Is present only when the default dashboard is opened
  • Is an exact duplicate of the "Duplicate dashboard" already present in the dashboards dropdown
